Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Surat Diamond Bourse in Surat on Sunday. Surat Diamond Bourse is the world s largest and most modern center for international diamond and jewelry business located in the diamond city.
Claimed by its architects the Delhi-based Morphogenesis as the “world’s biggest workspace”, SDB has reportedly beaten US’s Pentagon in capacity by having 4,200 diamond trading offices, and aims to shift the entire diamond trading business out of Mumbai, to Surat.
The 15-storey building in Surat spans over 7.1 million square feet of floor space, meaning it would clearly surpass the Pentagon (6.5 million square feet) as the world s largest office building.
