AMB Property Corp.
(AMB), a real estate investment trust (REIT), has recently leased
about 219,600 square feet of space in its build-to-suit property in
Chengdu in western China, for an undisclosed amount. The lessee was
Deppon Express Co., Ltd, one of the premier logistics companies of
China.
Deppon will occupy the warehouse
facility at AMB Chengdu Airport Logistics Center 1, which is
located in close proximity to the Chengdu International Airport and
the City Center. The distribution facility also offers easy access
to key transportation networks in fast growing markets, such as
Chengdu and the greater western China region, in an efficient and
cost-saving manner. Consequently, the leased property renders
unmatched potential to profitably expand its business across the
region.
Furthermore, with the present lease
agreement, AMB has strengthened its strategic ties with one of its
esteemed clients such as Deppon, who also leases its facilities in
Jiaxing and Ningbo. Headquartered in Shanghai, Deppon offers the
widest customized transport service network coverage in 500-plus
cities and regions across China with more than 1,800 freight
vehicles. The company is regarded as a leading integrated
service-oriented logistics provider in China with a full range of
products and services like precision GPS-enabled road express
service, precision intercity freight service, precision road
freight service, and precision air freight service.
AMB provides industrial
distribution warehouse space in some of the busiest distribution
markets of the world. The majority of the company’s portfolio
comprises high throughput distribution (HTD), which provides
multiple options for quick movement and the distribution of goods
to the customer. HTD properties are warehouses or other industrial
properties that are located near airports, seaports, and ground
transportation facilities, which enable rapid distribution of
customers’ products. These HTD centers are typically located in
areas characterized by global ports in supply-constrained, in-fill
markets, which enable the company to gain a significant pricing
advantage.
AMB operates as a vertically
integrated company and enjoys large economies of scale through an
extensive knowledge of domestic and international industrial real
estate markets. The company has two lines of businesses – real
estate operations, which involve the long-term ownership and
operations of industrial properties, and private capital, which
provide portfolio management and reporting services to JV partners.
AMB earns acquisition, development, and asset management fees in
addition to priority distributions and promoted interest from the
private capital business.
Currently, we have a ‘Neutral’
recommendation and a Zacks #3 Rank on AMB that translates into a
short-term ‘Hold’ rating. We also have a ‘Neutral’ recommendation
and a Zacks #2 Rank (short-term ‘Buy’) for Duke Realty
Corp. (DRE), a competitor of AMB.
