I can't really believe the skepticism, to be honest. It's a fact that it's the tallest masonry building in the world. I'm not sure about largest - I guess that would be measured in square footage? But even then, I still would have a hard time believing that it's not in the top 5. This thing took 30 years to build I mean come on now. Again, yet another source:

The fact is cited in many books as well.
