ITEM 5   OTHER EVENTS.

         On August 15, 2000, AMB Property, L.P., in which we are the sole
general partner, priced $30 million of senior unsecured notes under the
medium-term note program that it commenced on August 15, 2000. The notes were
sold to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter as principal with a settlement date of August
18, 2000. We have guaranteed the notes, which mature on August 20, 2007 and bear
interest at a rate of 7.925% per annum.

         AMB Property, L.P. intends to use the net proceeds of $29,820,000,
after Morgan Stanley's .600% commission, for general corporate purposes, which
may include the partial repayment of indebtedness, including amounts
outstanding under its unsecured credit facility, and the acquisition or
development of additional properties.
