Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as special counsel to AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), and AMB Property Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Guarantor”), in connection with the issuance of $325,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 6.300% Series C Medium Term Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”) and the guarantees of the Notes (the “Guarantees”) pursuant to: (i) the registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 21, 2006 (File No. 333-135210) (as so filed and as amended, the “Registration Statement”); (ii) a base prospectus dated July 5, 2006 (the “Base Prospectus”); (iii) a prospectus supplement dated August 10, 2006 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act (the “Prospectus Supplement,” and together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”); (iv) a pricing supplement dated April 28, 2008 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act (the “Pricing Supplement”); and (v) a distribution agreement dated August 10, 2006 by and among Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, the other Agents party thereto, the Operating Partnership and the Guarantor (the “Distribution Agreement”). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Notes and the Guarantees.

     As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company, the Guarantor, and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the internal laws of the State of New York and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the “DRULPA”), and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies
