AMB Property Corporation(R) , a leading global developer and owner of industrial real estate, today announced it has acquired four fully-leased industrial facilities totaling approximately 709,000 square feet. The facilities are located in the Baltimore-Washington Corridor, proximate to the Baltimore-Washington International Airport and the Port of Baltimore.

Customers at the park, named AMB Baltimore Beltway Industrial, include Under Armour, a leading branded performance apparel company; Caterpillar Logistics Services, Inc., a provider of supply chain solutions and services to its parent company, Caterpillar Inc., and other corporations globally; and Packaging Corporation of America, a major producer of packaging products in the United States.

"The Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia area has the country's fourth largest economy in terms of population and jobs, and the third largest economy in terms of Gross Regional Product," said Gene Reilly, AMB's president, North America. "Additionally, AMB Baltimore Beltway Industrial park is located in a land constrained, infill submarket with significant barriers to entry that make it difficult to develop facilities of similar size."

The acquisition of AMB Baltimore Beltway Industrial increases AMB's presence in the Baltimore/Washington market by nearly 25 percent, to 3.8 million square feet of distribution and logistics space. The company's Baltimore/Washington portfolio is 100 percent occupied.
