AMB Property Corporation(R) Breaks Ground on 608,000 SF in China

AMB Property Corporation(R) , a leading global developer and owner of industrial real estate, today announced that it has broken ground on two development projects in China totaling more than 608,000 square feet (56,500 square meters).

"Global trade brings enormous growth potential for AMB in China, as evidenced by these groundbreakings," said Hamid R. Moghadam, AMB's chairman and CEO. "As these facilities come online, we look forward to bringing further competitive advantages and operational efficiencies to our customers with AMB's first port-related and bonded logistics park projects in China."

AMB Beilun Port Distribution Center is located in the Ningbo Economic & Technological Development Zone (NETDZ), one of China's premier business and port areas. The facility represents the first investment by an international industrial property developer in the NETDZ and is expected to be 398,000 square feet (37,000 square meters).

AMB Kunshan Bonded Logistics Center is located in the Kunshan Export Processing Zone (KEPZ), which is among the first Export Processing Zones (EPZ) in China to offer the extended functions of bonded logistics, R&D, inspection and maintenance. The distribution center, expected to total approximately 210,000 square feet (19,500 square meters), is AMB's first bonded logistics center in China.

"These groundbreakings represent great momentum for AMB's business in China," commented Thomas F. Marquis, managing director of AMB Property China. "AMB Beilun Port Distribution Center paves the way for future development of distribution property supporting China's booming sea trade. The facility is located at Ningbo Port, which is China's largest natural deep-water port and is protected from adverse weather conditions. AMB Kunshan Bonded Logistics Center is a significant milestone in the implementation of the EPZ-plus-bonded logistics park model in China, bringing increased competitiveness to companies exporting globally from China."
