Notable features
Atrium

The Leeza SOHO features a 194-metre (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]
Subway connection
Leeza SOHO is located at the intersection of Line 14 and Line 16 of the Beijing Subway network, served by Lize Shangwuqu station, with one exit directly leading to the building's atrium and numerous others surrounding it.[4] In 2026, a Daxing Airport Express platform will open at the station, with plans for Line 11 and Line 25 (Fangshan Line) to also be extended there in the near future.
