AMB Property Corporation(R) , a leading global developer and owner of industrial real estate, today announced the stabilization of the 340,000 square foot AMB Jiuting Distribution Center in Shanghai, with a 188,000 square foot lease to Decathlon in the recently developed building at the distribution complex.

Decathlon -- a global designer, manufacturer and retailer of sporting goods -- now leases 264,000 square feet in the two buildings at AMB Jiuting Distribution Center. The company operates its dedicated logistics division serving the China region from AMB Jiuting Distribution Center. Decathlon is headquartered in France and has 374 stores throughout Europe, Asia and South America.

"AMB has worked closely with Decathlon, accommodating their facility requirements within our development as they further ramp up operations in China. We are pleased to welcome Decathlon's expansion at AMB Jiuting Distribution Center, thereby stabilizing this development," said Guy Jaquier, AMB's president, Europe & Asia. "China is Decathlon's retail entry into Asia, and we're proud that they rely on the efficiency of AMB facilities as part of their Asia logistics operations."

"The delivery of the right product, to the right place, at the right time is a key component of Decathlon's aggressive delivery commitment to retail customers, and AMB has been a vital real estate partner in the realization of this objective in China," said Jean-Daniel Cohen, Decathlon's North Asia logistics director. "AMB's customer-focused approach and ability to develop well-located, efficient facilities has made a positive impact on Decathlon as our China business expands."

AMB Jiuting Distribution Center is located near Hongqiao Airport and Shanghai's city center.
