FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION^® ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

Results reflect solid operating performance and strong gains from development business

SAN FRANCISCO, October 16, 2007 — AMB Property Corporation^® (NYSE:AMB), a leading global developer and owner of industrial real estate, today reported results for the quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Funds from operations per fully diluted share and unit (“FFOPS”) was $0.99 for the third quarter of 2007, as compared to $0.72 for the same quarter in 2006. FFOPS for the year-to-date period was $2.31, as compared to $2.10 for the same period in 2006. The FFOPS results exceeded the high end of the company’s previous guidance for the third quarter by $0.21 per share, primarily as a result of better-than-expected profitability on development projects contributed to the company’s private capital funds and strong core operating performance.

Net income available to common stockholders per fully diluted share and unit (“EPS”) was $0.69 for the third quarter of 2007, as compared to $0.33 for the same quarter in 2006. EPS for the year-to-date period was $2.04 as compared to $1.39 for the same period in 2006.

Operating Results

AMB’s industrial operating portfolio occupancy was 95.5% at September 30, 2007, as compared to 96.1% at June 30, 2007 and 95.9% at September 30, 2006. Average occupancy during the quarter was up 50 basis points to 95.4%, from 94.9% for the same period in 2006. Benefiting from rising rents in many of the company’s markets and the increase in average portfolio occupancy, cash-basis same store net operating income increased 5.3% in the third quarter and 5.8% in the first three quarters, over the same periods in 2006. In the third quarter of 2007, rents on lease renewals and rollovers in AMB’s operating portfolio increased 8.9%, as compared to increases of 2.0% in the prior quarter and 9.9% in the third quarter of 2006.

“The strength of global trade is driving steady demand and solid valuations for distribution real estate in strategic supply chain markets around the world,” said Hamid R. Moghadam, AMB’s chairman and CEO. “AMB’s quarterly financial results reflect this strength with both better-than-projected development profits and portfolio operating performance. We continue to see compelling opportunities to expand our global development platform by serving the needs of key customers to reconfigure or consolidate their distribution networks.”

Investment Activity

New development starts in the quarter totaled approximately 2.8 million square feet in 11 projects in North America and Europe, with an estimated total investment of $233 million. At quarter end,

AMB’s industrial development pipeline totaled approximately 16.8 million square feet in 47 projects, globally, and four value-added conversion projects in North America, with an estimated total investment of $1.6 billion scheduled for delivery through 2009. Also during the quarter, the company made AMB Moffett Business Center Industrial, a value-added conversion project, available for sale.

The company’s development business includes contributions of stabilized properties to affiliated private capital funds or sale of projects to third parties. During the third quarter, AMB contributed four development projects totaling 1.3 million square feet. Additionally, AMB sold three projects: a 42,600 square foot development; a land parcel; and a value-added conversion project—AMB Osgood Industrial. Aggregate gross proceeds from these seven projects totaled $245 million.

“AMB’s long-term focus on investing in high-demand infill locations in major markets is providing a unique opportunity to create incremental value for our shareholders through the repurposing of selected properties to higher and better uses,” Mr. Moghadam added. AMB announced at its September 18, 2007 Investor Forum in New York City that it projects $30-50 million of potential gains, annually, from its value-added conversion business over the next several years.

Expanding the company’s presence in several target markets in North America, Europe and Asia, AMB acquired 1.5 million square feet of industrial distribution space in nine properties at a total acquisition cost of $116 million, $98 million of which was acquired for three of the company’s private capital funds: AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, AMB Japan Fund I and AMB Europe Fund I.

Subsequent to the quarter, AMB announced the expansion of its global platform into the United Kingdom with the acquisition of a 320,000 square foot development property strategically located in a supply-constrained London submarket.

Share Repurchase

During the third quarter, the company repurchased 1,069,038 shares of its common stock for an aggregate price of $53.3 million, or at a weighted average price of $49.87 per share. Approximately $147 million of capacity remains under the company’s current stock repurchase program.

Addition of Company Officers

During the quarter, five officers joined the company: Anthony Bourke joined the Private Capital group as senior vice president, business development; Hardy Milsch joined the Southwest Region as vice president, leasing & development, Mexico; David Nix joined the East Region as vice president, acquisitions; Tim Nolan joined the Global Customer Development team as a vice president; and Mary Paeng joined the Private Capital group as vice president, business development.

Commenting on these recent hires, Mr. Moghadam said, “With a focus on attracting and retaining the top talent in the industry, we welcome these new officers to our global team, each of whom brings to AMB a high level of ability and a rich background of experience applicable to their new role. We’re pleased to have them onboard.”

Supplemental Earnings Measures

Included in the footnotes to the company’s attached financial statements is a discussion of why management believes FFOPS is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance, ways in which investors might use FFOPS when assessing the company’s financial performance and FFOPS’s limitations as a measurement tool. Reconciliation from net income to funds from operations and FFOPS is provided in the attached tables and published in AMB’s quarterly supplemental analyst package, available on the company’s website at www.amb.com.

The company believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, the company considers cash-basis same store net operating income (SSNOI) to be a useful supplemental measure of its operating performance. Properties that are considered part of the same store pool include all properties that were owned as of the end of both the current and prior year reporting periods and exclude development properties for both the current and prior reporting periods. The same store pool is set annually and excludes properties purchased and developments stabilized after December 31, 2005. In deriving SSNOI, the company defines NOI as rental revenues (as calculated in accordance with GAAP), including reimbursements, less straight-line rents, amortization of lease intangibles, and property operating expenses, which excludes depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. The company considers SSNOI to be an appropriate and useful supplemental performance measure because it reflects the operating performance of the real estate portfolio excluding effects of non-cash adjustments and provides a better measure of actual cash basis rental growth for a year-over-year comparison. In addition, the company believes that SSNOI helps the investing public compare the company’s operating performance with that of other companies. While SSNOI is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating AMB’s liquidity or operating performance. SSNOI also does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs, or trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact its results from operations. Further, the company’s computation of SSNOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating SSNOI. Reconciliation from net income to SSNOI is published in the company’s quarterly supplemental analyst package, available on the company’s website at www.amb.com.

“Owned and managed” is defined by the company as assets in which the company has at least a 10% ownership interest, is the property or asset manager, and which it intends to hold for the long-term.

		⁽¹⁾ Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Funds From Operations Per Share and Unit (“FFOPS”). The Company believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, the Company considers funds from operations, or FFO, and FFO per share and unit, or FFOPS, to be useful supplemental measures of its operating performance. Currently and historically, the Company calculates FFO as defined by NAREIT as net income, calculated in accordance with GAAP, less gains (or losses) from dispositions of real estate held for investment purposes and real estate-related depreciation, and adjustments to derive the Company’s pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. However, if the circumstance arises, the Company intends to include in its calculation of FFO gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated real estate held for contribution to our joint ventures. Although such a change, if instituted, will be a departure from the current NAREIT definition, the Company believes such calculation of FFO will better reflect the value created as a result of the contributions. The Company defines FFOPS as FFO per fully diluted weighted average share of company common stock and operating partnership unit. The Company does not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges. The Company believes that FFO and FFOPS are meaningful supplemental measures of its operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. Thus, FFO and FFOPS are supplemental measures of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that exclude historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. The Company believes that the use of FFO and FFOPS, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. The Company considers FFO and FFOPS to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, FFO and FFOPS can help the investing public compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to other companies. While FFO and FFOPS are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, these measures do not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. FFO and FFOPS also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to the Company’s real estate assets nor are FFO or FFOPS necessarily indicative of cash available to fund the Company’s future cash requirements. Further, the Company’s computation of FFO or FFOPS may not be comparable to FFO or FFOPS reported by other real estate investment trusts th at do not define FFO or FFOPS in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company does. Estimated FFO by Business Line is FFO generated by the Company’s Capital Partners, development and real estate operations business lines. Estimated Capital Partners and Development FFO was determined by reducing Capital Partner Income and Development Profits, net of taxes by their respective estimated share of general and administrative expenses. Capital Partners and Developments estimated allocation of total general and administrative expenses was based on their respective percentage of actual direct general and administrative expenses incurred. Estimated Real Estate Operations FFO represents total Company FFO less estimated FFO attributable to Capital Partners and Development. Management believes estimated FFO by business line is a useful supplemental measure of its operating performance because it helps the investing public compare the operating performance of a company’s respective business lines to other companies’ comparable business lines. Further, AMB’s computation of FFO by business line may not be comparable to that reported by other real estate investment trusts as they may use different methodologies in computing such measures.
