Changed to Largest Office Buildings

The tallest office building designation overlaps a lot with simply tallest buildings. I moved it to "largest". Now we can add a column for floor area to reflect the traditional use of an office building - to house people and equipment. Codwiki (talk) 19:28, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Complexe Desjardins and Place du Portage

I removed Complexe Desjardins and Place du Portage, as they are office complexes, rather than single buildings.

The two Petronas Towers are listed individually, so it appears only single buildings should be considered for this list.

Untitled: possibly missing from list

The Bell Labs Holmdel Complex is reported (in Wikipedia) at 190,000 square meters. It would seem to qualify for this list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.197.206.68 (talk) 05:11, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DFAS Indianapolis

DFAS is headquartered in the MG Emmett J. Bean Finance Center, a 1,600,000-square-foot (150,000 m2) building — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.70.166.231 (talk) 21:52, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The Octagon

Any source for the Octagon being 89 million square meters? The linked page lists it at only 4.7 million, which seems way more reasonable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.145.230.216 (talk) 22:02, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What is the deal with the the Chrysler Center?

Chrysler World Headquarters and Technology Center is listed as the second largest building, but that includes the entire center. It sounds like the center may be made of several buildings? The article says the "technology center" was completed in 1993 and the "headquarters" in 1996. Are these joined as one building?

The picture (right) does seem to show that the Center is dominated by one large building, but there are several detached buildings also, and it's hard to see what's joined to what, or if the 490,000 square feet includes all the buildings, and if some of the buildings are not office buildings.

The main building may have a name separate from "Chrysler World Headquarters and Technology Center" and if so that is the building we want to list, and the square footage we want to list. If it doesn't have a name, we should probably list it as "Main building at the Chrysler World Headquarters and Technology Center". Herostratus (talk) 20:37, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Of course the problem is that the page has not a single usable source, despite listing some 90 or so buildings. There's nothing at the other article that helps me, either, although it may be a hint that it refers to "the complex" as having the alleged area. And BTW, if you hadn't mentioned it being the second-largest building, I would never have known you were talking about the FCA US LLC Headquarters and Technology Center. — JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits) 22:31, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Government Complex Sejong

Hi, I'm not a Wikipedia editor (at least for now), but apparently, according to the what I think it is the official ministry of the interior site of South Korea (https://gbmo.go.kr/eng/cm/cntnts/cntntsView.do?mi=1430&cntntsId=1219), the second largest office building in the world in actually Government Complex Sejong, with a 629145m² floor area. I don't know if anyone will see this, but can someone pls confirm? Maybe I can change myself if I learn how to use this thing, although I find strange that such a building would pass without anyone noticing Soin0 (talk) 23:54, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't know how fast things generally happen here in Wikipedia. But I confirmed that that site was in fact from the ministry of interior of Korea. There are problems though:

1. The number of floors. The ministry says that it has 14 over ground + 2 basement levels, although by looking at the building and at sources from other places the numbers seems to be 6~8 + basement. I guess that there must be some higher building that also makes part of the complex, the problem is if they actually are part of the same building or not.

2. Two floor areas: I previously said that the building had 629,145m², but the site also says another number, 596,283m², I've previously ignored it because it was called "site area", which is not what we want. Whatever, here (the same site, another page), calls it "floor area", and the bigger number "gross floor area" so I don't know which to use. Soin0 (talk) 00:16, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
