You can argue with me and if I feel that it [what is said] is right, I will change it, but the majority of the time, I’ve made a decision, I’m taking a path which I’m leading, and I will continue that,” Kiran said about his headstrong strategy. One of Tampa Bay’s most influential and wealthiest leaders was honored with his family in front of hundreds Sept. 8.

In Florida, the Patel House compound also has two small blocks, each having over 7500sqft space, where the Patels’ two physician daughters will gradually move in with their spouses. “I am very fortunate that all my three children decided to stay in Tampa, which is unusual in this day and age,” the Tampa Bay Times quoted Dr Patel saying in an article. There is dedicated space for yoga and meditation, and a beautiful lotus blossom made of glass draws attention to this relaxing space.

According to Tampa Bay Times, Dr Kiran Patel’s estate covers an enormous 17 acres in Hillsborough County, where it is the largest residential compound ever built. The property houses a 32,000 square feet mansion which has two multibedroom wings. While Dr Kiran Patel and his wife, Pallavi, will occupy one wing, their son, daughter-in-law and their children will reside in the other. Kiran Patel's house is one of the country's largest single-family homes. He then spent the next ten years building his compound, which consists of multiple smaller homes. The massive home was designed by Rojo Architecture, and built by Onicx Construction.

The 17-acre Surya Estate does also encompass a lake that adds to the serene ambience and scenic beauty of the palatial residence.

A successful cardiologist, Kiran Patel founded the Tampa-based HMO WellCare in 1985 and sold the company to a New York investment group in 2003, becoming an instant multimillionaire in the process. Construction at Surya Estates, the sprawling residential compound of Dr Kiran Patel in Florida, is nearly complete after almost 10 years. The palatial estate, with its archways, turrets and domes, is decidedly incongruous in the Florida neighbourhood where it is located – a fact that has inspired several viral videos on social media.
