Could any of the suggested words work here?
Hi. I'm trying to set a scene... The scene is in an office building...
From its position at the foot of a stairway on the 9th floor a 25-foot Christmas tree rises/reaches/leads/stretches/peeks up to the 10th floor where about 100 people are chatting cheerfully with drinks in hand.
