Notable features

Atrium

The Leeza SOHO features a 194 m (636 ft) tall twisting atrium at its centre, which is the tallest in the world, a title previously held by the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai. The atrium twists 45° over the height of the building to allow natural light to all floors. Structural rings at each level, four sky bridges, and a double-insulated glass façade unite the two halves of the tower together.^[7]

Leeza SOHO is located at the intersection of Line 14 and Line 16 of the Beijing Subway network.^[4] Lize Shangwuqu station is served by Line 14, and will be served by Line 16 and Daxing Airport Express in the future.
