Spanning over 108526 square meters, Perpa Trade Center consists of 14 floors. It has 660000 square meters of indoor space. The center is so large that it is managed by two entities, A Block and B Block. Both blocks manage their own affairs. A directorate oversees common areas. This includes the parking lot, security, and gardens.
