Case Studies

Customers recognize AMB as a valued resource for real estate solutions.

Market Entry & Redevelopment

DHL Exel Supply Chain, the global market leader of the international express and logistics industry, required more than 1 million square feet of highly efficient logistics space in Shanghai, up and running in just six months. AMB identified a prime location, implemented an extensive redevelopment program, and delivered the completed site to DHL in record time. DHL now leases the three-building industrial park in Shanghai and is able to service the distribution requirements of its international consumer clients.

Acquisition & Build-to-suit Success

Schenker, a global provider of integrated logistics services, owned a building that was too small to accommodate their growth in Chicago, and was not close enough to O’Hare International Airport. AMB developed a state-of-the art facility, doubling their size and providing easy access to O’Hare’s cargo entrance. AMB acquired Schenker’s older facility, leasing it back to them during the transition. AMB’s sale/leaseback approach for Schenker satisfied their capital redeployment objectives, and helped them efficiently execute their Chicago business plan.

Build-to-suit & Consolidation Success

Procter & Gamble needed to improve its Mexico distribution operations — its operations were spread across multiple facilities that were small and inefficient. Surmounting land assembly difficulties in Mexico, AMB secured a site and developed a build-to-suit facility that P&G then purchased. The company consolidated operations into a newer and larger facility of high quality. AMB’s custom solution provided P&G with modern distribution efficiencies to meet demand in Mexico.
