Global Development

AMB develops, redevelops and renovates distribution facilities at critical locations in the world’s supply chain. We serve global, regional and local customers with leading edge build-to-suit and speculative developments in the Americas, Europe and Asia.

AMB’s development customers benefit from:

Design Innovation
AMB has developed best practices for high-volume, high-turnover distribution facilities. We optimize dock-doors, ceiling heights, column spacing, building depths and truck bay ratios to maximize building efficiency. Our designs support the latest security and inventory management advances, and include multi-story facilities in land-constrained markets.
Land Holdings
AMB has land ready to support development of more than 30 million square feet of new facilities. With sites available in key distribution markets, we can expedite the pre-development process and rapidly deliver custom, state-of-the-art facilities.
Renovation
AMB puts its design innovations to work reconfiguring existing industrial properties to meet modern distribution specifications.
Financial Strength
AMB has ready capital resources, balance sheet strength and investment grade ratings to undertake large-scale development projects.
Local Expertise
AMB surmounts the regulatory, political and practical challenges of developing property with the strength of its local staff and development expertise.
Experience
In the last five years, AMB has completed more than 21 million square feet of distribution facilities globally.

Customer demand for AMB-developed warehouse and distribution facilities is robust and growing. In 2006, we started developing $900 million in new properties designed to meet the expanding demands of global trade. By 2010, we plan to grow that number by 75%, taking our global development starts to $1.6 billion annually.
