India breaks the Pentagon's eighty-year record by building the largest office building in the world in this Gujarati city!
The Pentagon held the title for having the biggest office complex on Earth for 80 years. But according to a CNN story, a building in Surat, Gujarat that would house a single diamond trade center has unexpectedly attained such status. 90% of the diamonds in the world are cut and polished in Surat, the "Diamond Capital of the World." Over 65,000 diamond professionals will have a "one-stop destination" at the recently built Surat Diamond Bourse.

According to reports, this enormous 15-story tower is made up of nine rectangular buildings that are united by a central spine and stretched across 35 acres of ground. According to the accountable building business, it has more than 7.1 million square feet of floor space.
The facility will be formally inaugurated this year in November, under the auspices of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The project's construction took four years to complete. According to the SDB website, the land also includes a parking lot and a recreation space that total 2 million square feet.
Revolutionizing Diamond Trade: Non-Profit Organization Creates Cutting-Edge Complex in Surat
The non-profit organization driving this initiative is funded by the SDB Diamond Bourse, a business founded to help the expansion and development of the diamond industry in Surat, Gujarat. It works in accordance with the 2013 Companies Act's Section 8 regulations. Mahesh Gadhavee, the project's CEO, told CNN that the new facility will eliminate the need for thousands of people to frequently travel to Mumbai.
The renowned Indian architectural firm Morphogenesis was contracted to build the structure after holding a global design competition. Gadhavee made it clear that the competition's goal was to decide the project's scale based on market demand, not to outgrow the Pentagon. He added that all of the office spaces in the building had already been rented by diamond companies before construction even started.
