Some information said that the Uris Building is (at least once was) the largest office block in the world (by volume, may be). Is that true? How about the Pan Am Bldg and 1 NY Plaza? These amazing gaints really shock the "non-New Yorker" like me!

  Shock, and not only with their size...
  Indeed, according to my lovely new London trip purchase, the over 1370-page (!) behemoth "New York 1960", the building was the world's largest commercial office building with its over 3 million sq ft / 278,800 m² of office space, beaten even in the general office "category" only by the Pentagon in Washington D.C.
