AMB Property Corporation(R) , a leading global developer and owner of industrial real estate, today expanded the company's ability to serve the needs of companies reliant on airports and seaports in metropolitan New York, with the acquisition of a fully-leased industrial property.

The rail-served AMB New Durham Industrial Center consists of 452,000 square feet, and increases AMB's market position in its Northern New Jersey/New York (NNJ/NY) target market to 12.3 million square feet. The property is located near major transportation nodes, including the Port of Newark/Elizabeth, the most comprehensive maritime cargo facility on the eastern seaboard; Newark Liberty International Airport; and the confluence of major arteries including the New Jersey Turnpike and Middlesex Freeway.

"This acquisition underscores our focused strategy to own and operate distribution facilities in the very best markets tied to global trade," said Gene Reilly, AMB's president, The Americas. "Located near Exit 10 in Edison, one of the most accessible industrial submarkets in northern New Jersey with strong supply/demand fundamentals, AMB New Durham Industrial Center complements AMB's existing portfolio of distribution centers in a region where our operating properties are 99 percent leased." In addition to its operating portfolio, AMB has three projects totaling 709,000 square feet under development in NNJ/NY as of June 30, 2007.
