The largest building in the world, with 472 million cubic feet of space, is the Boeing Plant in Everett, Washington, USA. The World Trade Centre in New York, has 12,000,000 square feet of rentable space. The Pentagon in Arlington, Virgina, USA, has 3,705,793 square feet of space for offices, and storage etc. The total size is 77,015,00 cubic feet. The tallest building in the world, at 1703 feet including the antenna, is the Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The tallest building in the world, if you do not count the antenna on the Sears Tower (some do, some don't), at 1483 feet, are the Petronas Towers, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The Sears Tower without the antenna is 1450 feet. The tallest free standing structure in the world, at 1815 feet, is the CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Once construction is completed, (expected to be in 2001) as proposed and planned, the tallest building in the world will be, at 1509 feet, The Shanghai Financial Centre in China. Again, not taking the antenna on the Sears Tower into consideration.
