Go Big or Go Home

The New Century Global Centre or otherwise known as the world’s largest building recently

opened in Chengdu, China. This mega-multi-use facility houses over 18.9 million square feet

and features such amenities such as offices, hotels, IMAX theatre, skating rink, indoor beach

plus numerous others. This is truly a marvel for the ages and clearly shows the need for cities to

continually up the ante on each other. The previous record hold for world’s largest building was

the Dubai International Airport Terminal 3 (18.4 million square feet).

To put the massive size of the New Century Global Centre’s 5.5 million square feet into

perspective below is a list of sizable buildings by their floor space.

The Palazzo, Las Vegas – 6.9 million square feet

The Pentagon, Washington D.C. – 6.6 million square feet

Mall of America, Minneapolis, MN – 5.4 million square feet

Boeing Factory, Everett, WA – 4.3 million square feet

Empire State Building, New York, NY – 2.2 million square feet

It’s hard to fathom the size of this building let alone the planning and development of the NCGC

but it would be fascinating building to explore. You could truly vacation here without having to

step outside.
