AMB Property Corporation(R) , a leading global developer and owner of industrial real estate, today announced that AMB Morgan Business Center - Building 100 in Savannah has been awarded Gold LEED certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The 346,000 square foot facility is the largest investor-owned industrial development in North America to achieve Gold LEED Core & Shell(R) certification.

"This project represents the best combination of business opportunity, economic growth and green practices, and serves as an example of sustainability standards for future development projects," said Steve Campbell, AMB's senior vice president, director of Global Environmental & Development Services. Across its global platform, AMB includes environmentally responsible design specifications in its developments.

"Building 100 is at the forefront of sustainable development, and has exceeded our earlier expectations for Silver LEED certification," said Jay Cornforth, managing director of AMB's East Region. "In response to our customers' needs, this development offers proximity to the Port of Savannah, utility resource savings, and a healthy environment for employees."

AMB Morgan Business Center - Building 100 is the first stage of a master-planned business park expected to total more than 3 million square feet of distribution space upon completion. LEED features at the park include sustainable site development and management, water conservation, energy efficiency and environmentally mindful materials sourcing. AMB recently announced the lease of more than 150,000 square feet in Building 100 to Dorel Juvenile Group, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of children's products.
