AMB Property Corporation(R) , a leading global developer and owner of industrial real estate, today announced it has leased approximately 173,000 square feet in a Greater Toronto Area (GTA) development. A third party logistics provider leased approximately 113,000 square feet of AMB Milton 401 Business Park - Building B to service an existing client, and a provider of outsourced logistics services for the retail supply chain leased approximately 60,000 square feet of AMB Milton 401 Business Park - Building A to expand their operations.

AMB Milton 401 Business Park provides rapid access to the nearby Trans Canada Highway and Toronto Pearson International Airport, Canada's busiest airport. As previously announced, AMB fully pre-leased the 309,000 square foot AMB Milton 401 Business Park - Building C to 3M Canada.

Additionally, AMB recently acquired more than 660,000 square feet in the GTA. AMB Milton Crossings Business Park is a 76 percent leased, recently-developed property near the Trans Canada Highway as well as Toronto Pearson International Airport. As part of the transaction, AMB acquired land capable of supporting a 142,000 square foot expansion, expected to break ground in third quarter 2008.

"Our recent leasing activity at AMB Milton 401 Business Park demonstrates the strength of our presence in the GTA, North America's fourth largest industrial market," commented Gene Reilly, AMB's president, the Americas. "Additionally, the acquisition of AMB Milton Crossings Business Park complements our active development pipeline in Toronto and further enables us to meet customer demand which is driven by airport proximity, rapid highway access and a large population base."

"We are making strategic strides in the GTA, establishing AMB as a leading logistics real estate provider in the market. Our leasing and acquisition activity here comes on the heels of our first quarter acquisition of the 475,000 square foot AMB Millcreek Distribution Centre, fully leased to UPS Canada Ltd. and Hershey Canada Inc.," commented Jay Cornforth, AMB's managing director, East Region.

The GTA is considered to be North America's fourth largest industrial market, following Los Angeles, Chicago and the greater New York/Northern New Jersey metropolitan area.
