Building Interior Analysis Space Function The Leeza SOHO Tower has 46 stories above ground and four levels below ground (figure 65). Hence, the tower includes 10,000m² of retail space, 480 car parks, 2,680 bicycle parking spaces, and electric vehicle charging stations. Moreover, the double decker elevator system is used, as odd and even numbered floors are separated (figure 66).
Furthermore, the elevator system splits into two zones – the low zone goes from level 1 to level 26, while the high zone goes from level 27 to level 45 (figure 67). Additionally, the Leeza SOHO Tower has complete 5G coverage, whereby 5G refers to the most advanced wireless technology for digital cellular networks (ubm magazine, 2020).
