Nike will move into the space starting in the first quarter of 2014.

News of Nike?s plans for a Shanghai campus first arose last fall.

It becomes the company?s third corporate campus, following its World Headquarters near Beaverton and one in Hilversum, the Netherlands, which serves as the regional headquarters for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

Nike is the leading sporting goods brand in China, where it celebrated its 30th anniversary last year. It generated $2 billion in sales in China last year for the first time and last month it said revenue in China grew by another 35 percent in the second quarter.
