The Beijing Olympic Tower stands on Kehui South Road in the Olympic Green in Chaoyang District, Beijing, China. Cui Kai and Li Cundong of the China Architecture Design & Research Group designed it, and Zhao Wenbin designed the landscaping. Beijing Municipality owns it. Construction began in 2011. The tower opened on August 8, 2015, though the article also says it opened in August 2014.
It is 846 feet (258 meters) tall and built of steel and concrete. Five circular towers make up the design: four smaller ones at varying heights around a larger central tower. Latticework covers the exteriors.
Two independent elevators and observation platforms serve the tower, and a revolving restaurant is planned. The design was inspired by blades of grass, and the landscaped grounds cover 18.5 acres (7.5 hectares).
