India's gem capital Surat in Gujarat has surpassed the United States to host the largest office in the world.
‘Surat Diamond Bourse’ - a one-stop shop for over 65,000 diamond professionals, is now the world's largest office building, replacing the Pentagon in the US.
Spanning over 35 acres of land, the sprawling 15-story complex has been constructed to house the diamond industry.
The office has a 7.1 million square feet of floor space, making it larger than the Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defence, which held the crown for nearly 80 years.
The building has been designed by architecture firm Morphogenesis, based in New Delhi.
The building accommodates 4,700 office spaces and 131 elevators.
