BOCOG moved into AGRS in late January this year due to its growing operations. Through friendly consultations, the two sides reached agreement on the text of the lease contract.

After assessments and comparisons of dozens of buildings in the past two years, BOCOG made AGRS the final choice for the new office. AGRS completed the building's fitment in six months according to the requirements of BOCOG, which went through the procedure of inspection and acceptance.

Endorsed by the International Olympic Committee, the 19-story building was named the Beijing Olympic Tower.

Located at 267 Beisihuanzhonglu, Haidian District of Beijing, the office will be the command center during the 2008 Olympic Games.
