AMB Property Corporation(R) , a leading global developer and owner of industrial real estate, today announced it has leased 564,000 square feet at a Southern California development project. Weber Distribution, a third party logistics provider, will occupy 564,000 square feet of AMB Redlands Distribution Center, a 1.3 million square foot warehouse under development in Los Angeles' Inland Empire submarket, under a ten year lease term.

"We were attracted to the facility for several reasons," said Bill Butler, president and CEO of Weber Distribution. "In addition to the building's environmentally-responsible design specifications, the large footprint enables us to consolidate from other smaller buildings. Additionally, its proximity to major arterial freeways gives us excellent access to locations throughout the West Coast. We are delighted that with a strong working relationship with AMB, we have been able to secure this high-quality facility in this strategic location."

"We have a significant track record of building facilities that provide our customers with practical and economically-efficient solutions. AMB Redlands Distribution Center has been designed with state-of-the-art waste conservation, lighting and water systems that are compatible with Weber Distribution's own sustainability initiatives," said Gene Reilly, AMB's president, North America. "Attracting a quality third-party logistics operator to this development further validates our strategy in the Inland Empire, where our operating facilities are 100 percent occupied."

As of June 30, 2007, AMB's presence in Southern California totals more than 21 million square feet of operating and development properties, with an operating portfolio that is more than 95% leased.
