ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, AMB Property
Corporation (the "Company") has invested approximately $377 million since
January 1, 1999 to acquire 112 industrial buildings aggregating approximately
6.2 million rentable square feet (collectively, the "1999 Property
Acquisitions").

         The properties covered by this Current Report on Form 8-K were acquired
by a subsidiary of the Company, AMB Property, L.P. (the "Operating
Partnership"), and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, from
unrelated third parties in unrelated transactions between February 1, 1999 and
September 30, 1999. As of September 30, 1999, the Company owns an approximate
95% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company is
the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and has full, exclusive
and complete responsibility and discretion in the management and control of the
Operating Partnership. None of the acquisitions were individually material.

         In assessing our investment in the 1999 Property Acquisitions, we
considered current operations, including occupancy levels, rental rates,
expenses and on-going capital requirements. We also considered the rental market
for the location of the 1999 Property Acquisitions and, if applicable, the cost
of building improvements. The 1999 Property Acquisitions were acquired using
proceeds from the divestiture of properties, drawings under the Operating
Partnership's unsecured debt facility and proceeds from the issuance of limited
preferred and common partnership units in the Operating Partnership and its
affiliate AMB Property II, L.P.
