AMB Property Corporation(R) , a leading global developer and owner of industrial real estate, today announced that it has pre-leased 525,000 square feet (48,000 square meters) of distribution space at a new 1.1 million square foot (104,300 square meter) development property in the airport submarket of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

"The property's proximity to the airport, the Trans-Canada Highway, and major intermodal rail yards provides convenient access to the GTA, and to significant portions of the Canadian consumer base and U.S. population," said Gene Reilly, AMB's president, The Americas.

"With AMB Airport Road Distribution Centre, we are growing our presence in one of North America's strongest distribution markets. Market dynamics are compelling and developable land sites that can accommodate a facility of this size are rare," commented Jay Cornforth, AMB's managing director, East Region. "We are pleased to welcome Vitran Logistics to the facility."

Vitran Logistics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vitran Corporation Inc., a leading North American less-than-truckload (LTL) and supply chain services provider, will use AMB Airport Road Distribution Centre to expand operations for an existing client. "Vitran Logistics was attracted to AMB Airport Road Distribution Centre's central location and access to nearby major transportation nodes," said Mike Glodziak, Vitran's president, Canadian and U.S. Logistics. "Additionally, the facility meets our requirements for superior functional design, security and operational efficiency, as well as proximity to an excellent labor pool."

AMB's Toronto market portfolio now totals more than 2.7 million square feet (250,800 square meters) of operating and under development properties. AMB's North America portfolio totaled more than 116.3 million square feet (10.8 million square meters) of operating and under development properties as of June 30, 2007.
