"occupy/take up" is the most common term to describe the amount of space occupied by something in Engpsh.
来源：这个词是从动词"occupy"派生出来的，意思是占据，占用。
例句：
The new building will occupy a large area of the city center.
(新建的大楼将占据市中心的大片土地。)
The museum takes up a significant portion of the park.
(博物馆占据了公园的很大一部分。)
注意：英语里面不像中文说"多少面积"这样，通常是说占了多大空间。
