"New Office Building Surpasses Pentagon as World's Largest"

The newly-opened Surat Diamond Bourse in Surat, Gujarat, India, has surpassed the Pentagon as the world's largest office building. Spanning over 7.1 million square feet of floor space, the 15-story complex is designed to accommodate over 65,000 diamond professionals and features 4,700 office spaces, dining, retail, wellness, and conference facilities. The building's design incorporates sustainable features such as natural ventilation, solar energy, and radiant cooling. The project aims to centralize the diamond industry in Surat, saving professionals from traveling to Mumbai, and is part of a larger plan to develop a "smart" city in the area.
