5 storey podium would typically be included as part of the 65 storey height.
(as in, depending on how the podium is divided in the retail component, it could be counted 2 or 3 separate storeys and not 5 storeys or a single storey)
The crown tends to be a bit trickier since designers will class the top roof level as a single storey even though the total height shows it to have the equivalent of 3 or 4 (or more) residential level storey heights.
It's yet another reason why actual building heights matter when assessing and comparing these buildings against each other.
A 60 storey building could still end up being overall shorter than a 50 storey building next door simply because the 50 storey building has higher floor-to-floor heights and like I hinted, a taller crown feature or podium or even taller penthouse levels (and several of them at that)
