The Leeza SOHO features a {{convert|194|m|abbr=on}} 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.{{cite web | title=China opens skyscraper with world's tallest atrium twisting | website=Construction Review Online | date=2019-11-21 | url=https://constructionreviewonline.com/2019/11/china-opens-skyscraper-with-worlds-tallest-atrium-twisting/ | access-date=2020-07-06 | archive-url=https://archive.today/20200706072213/https://constructionreviewonline.com/2019/11/china-opens-skyscraper-with-worlds-tallest-atrium-twisting/ | archive-date=2020-07-06 | url-status=live}}
