A building in the Indian city of Surat has overtaken the Pentagon to become the tallest office building in the world.
The city of Surat in the state of Gujarat is called the diamond capital of the world, where 90% of the world’s diamonds are cut.
Now the world’s largest office building has been established in Surat, which has been named ‘Surat Diamond Bourse’.
The building will house offices related to the gemstone industry, the 15-storey building has an area of 7.10 lakh square feet per floor.
Thus, this building has surpassed the Pentagon, the headquarters of the US Department of Defense in Arlington, which has a floor area of 6.5 million square feet.
Surat Diamond Bourse is an 81.9 meter tall building, which has cost Rs 32 billion for its construction.
The building has offices ranging from 300 square feet to 25,000 square feet, where more than 4,700 offices can be opened while 65,000 people can be employed.
The construction of the building started in 2019 but the architect said that we did not think of making it the largest office building in the world.
All offices are already sold before construction, the first office will open in November.
