ITEM 5   OTHER EVENTS.

     On October 23, 2000, AMB Property, L.P., in which we are the sole general
partner, priced $50 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes
under the medium-term note program that it commenced on August 15, 2000. The
notes, which mature on November 1, 2010 and bear interest at a rate of 8.00% per
annum, were sold to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, as principal, with a settlement
date of October 26, 2000.

     On October 25, 2000, AMB Property, L.P., priced $25 million aggregate
principal amount of senior unsecured notes under the medium-term note program
that it commenced on August 15, 2000. These notes were issued in addition to and
were combined with the $50 million aggregate principal amount of senior
unsecured notes that AMB Property, L.P. priced on October 23, 2000, as described
above. The additional $25 million aggregate principal amount of notes were sold
to J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as principal, with a settlement date of October
26, 2000 and have the same maturity date, interest rate and other terms as the
initial $50 million aggregate principal amount of notes. We have guaranteed the
full $75 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes.

     After deducting Morgan Stanley's and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.'s .625%
commission on the respective trades, AMB Property, L.P. received net proceeds of
$49,687,500 and $24,843,750, from the $50 million aggregate principal amount of
notes and the $25 million aggregate principal amount of notes, respectively. AMB
Property, L.P. intends to use these net proceeds 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.
