AMB Property Corporation(R) Leases 590,000 SF to DHL in North America, Europe and Asia

AMB Property Corporation(R) , a leading global developer and owner of industrial real estate, today announced it has leased 590,000 square feet in North America, Europe and Asia to DHL Exel Supply Chain (DESC), a Deutsche Post World Net company, including 491,000 square feet in a development project located near the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma.

"AMB's recent lease agreements further establish our strategic relationship with DESC, our top customer and the global market leader of the international express and logistics industry," said Hamid R. Moghadam, AMB's chairman and CEO. "We are proud that our relationship with DESC is strengthened by our ability to rapidly execute on their needs for Class A real estate solutions at major seaport and airport markets along the global supply chain."

AMB Valley Distribution Center is Exel's new West Coast regional distribution hub supporting its business in the region. The property has immediate access to highways providing rapid connections to the region, and is well positioned between the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma which have experienced a combined nine percent annual container cargo growth in the last five years. With the 491,000 square foot agreement, and General Electric's previously announced lease of 260,000 square feet, the facility is now fully leased.

"This latest lease with AMB supports an exciting new relationship with a large North American client in the Pacific Northwest," said Jim Gehr, president of Exel's Retail business unit. "Not only has AMB developed an ideal first class distribution facility - -- - we are confident that they will be able to execute and deliver the site to our specifications on time and on budget, which is critical to us. From the beginning, AMB has been a reliable partner in this transaction."

In Europe, DHL fully leased an 85,000 square foot facility at the Port of Rotterdam to support its freight transportation and related logistics services. The Port of Rotterdam is Europe's largest logistic and industrial hub. AMB Eemhaven Distribution Center 2 is located at a convergence of sea, rail and road connections, serving both Dutch distribution locations and the greater European continent.

AMB has also recently leased 14,000 square feet to DHL at Singapore's Changi International Airport, which ranks in the top ten airports globally for air cargo tonnage, and is a premier location for companies due to its Free Trade Zone status and dedicated air cargo entrances. DHL is running its third-party logistics operations for a major Texas-based technology company from its AMB SALC 2 development.

In addition to these leases, as of September 30, 2007, DESC's parent company, Deutsche Post World Net had 53 leases comprising more than 3.5 million square feet in locations across North America, Europe and Asia.
