Leeza SOHO (Chinese: 丽泽SOHO; pinyin: Lìzé SOHO), also known as Li Ze Tower, is a 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).[6] The construction of the building began in 2015.[4] It was opened on November 19, 2019[2], making it the third of three buildings designed by Zaha Hadid developed by SOHO China, along with Galaxy SOHO and Wangjing SOHO.
Notable Features
Atrium
The Leeza SOHO features a huge 194 metres (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 length of the building to allow natural light to all floors. Structural rings at each level, four sky bridges, and a double-insulated glass facade unite the two halves of the tower together.[7]
Subway Connection
Leeza SOHO is located at the intersection of Lines 14 and 16 currently under-construction for the Beijing Subway rail network.[4]
