Leeza SOHO, also known as Li Ze Tower, is a 207m (679feet) tall commercial skyscraper located in the Lize Financial Business District in Beijing, China. SOHO China acquired land use rights in 2013 for ¥1.922 billion RMB (US$288 million).[5] The construction of the building began in 2015[6] and it was opened on 19 November 2019, making it the third of three buildings designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and developed by SOHO China, along with Galaxy SOHO and Wangjing SOHO.

Notable features

Atrium

The Leeza SOHO features a 194m (636feet) 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.[6] Lize Shangwuqu station is served by Line 14, and will be served by Line 16 and Daxing Airport Express in the future.
