Jersey's Planning Minister has approved an application to develop the Esplanade.
A 6 story office block will be built on part of the public car park, the corner of Castle Street and the Esplanade.
It will provide 80,000 square feet of offices with a basement car park big enough for 41 spaces.
The approval is subject to a number of conditions; one is to provide public parking elsewhere.
You can download the plans on the www.gov.je website.

Jersey's won Gold at the Chelsea Flower Show.
It's the 7th time the Eric Young Orchid Foundation has exhibited at the competition - and they've won gold every time.
The team of four orchid growers worked hard for around a year planning their display.
But their winning exhibit almost didn't make it after being held at Customs longer than expected so plants arrived late for the show.
The small team of four Orchid growers had to work right up until the deadline to prepare the display for judging.

Posties will soon be doing more than just delivering parcels and letters.
Jersey Post has paired up with Health and Social services to run a pilot scheme in St Brelade where workers will check up on vulnerable members of the community.
The Call and Check service was a suggestion from a staff member and has already attracted the attention of people from the Harvard Business School.
Jersey Post Chief Executive Kevin Keen says it is a way of the company looking at different ways of expanding the work it does as the amount of mail people are sending is decreasing.
He also says that the trial scheme is free, but that they would have to pass on costs if the scheme goes island wide.
