ITEM 5 OTHER EVENTS AND REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

     On November 18, 2003, AMB Property, L.P., in which we are the sole general partner, priced $50 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior unsecured notes under the medium-term note program that it commenced on May 7, 2002. The notes mature on November 21, 2006 and bear interest at a floating rate of 3-month LIBOR telerate plus 40 basis points, resetting quarterly. J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and PNC Capital Markets, Inc. are acting as agents for the issuance of the notes. On November 21, 2003, AMB Property, L.P. closed the issuance of the notes. We have guaranteed the $50 million aggregate principal amount and interest on the notes.

     The estimated net proceeds to AMB Property, L.P. are approximately $49,785,000, after deducting the agents’ commissions of $175,000 and anticipated offering expenses of approximately $40,000. AMB Property, L.P. intends to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes for general purposes, which may include the acquisition or development of additional properties and the repayment of indebtedness, including inter-company indebtedness. Initially, AMB Property, L.P. may temporarily invest the net proceeds from the sale of the notes in short term securities.

     The $50 million floating rate note dated November 21, 2003 is attached as Exhibit 4.1 and incorporated in this report by reference. A copy of the pricing supplement dated November 18, 2003 pursuant to which the notes and guarantees were issued is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated in this report by reference.

Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. The events or circumstances reflected in forward-looking statements might not occur. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our analysis only and speak only as of the date of this report or the dates indicated in the statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants, increased interest rates and operating costs, our failure to obtain necessary outside financing, difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in effecting acquisitions, our failure to successfully integrate acquired properties and operations, our failure to divest of properties we have contracted to sell or to timely reinvest proceeds from any divestitures, risks and uncertainties affecting property development and
