ITEM 2. DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On April 8, 1999, we filed a current report on Form 8-K reporting that we signed
four definitive agreements for the disposition of (1) up to 28 of our retail
properties to BPP Retail, LLC and (2) six additional retail properties to
Burnham Pacific Operating Partnership, L.P. The current report also provided
unaudited pro forma financial information. On June 9, 1999, we filed an
amendment no. 1 to the current report to reflect that one of our joint venture
partners who holds an interest in three of the properties indicated that it will
not consent to the disposition of these properties at this time and to update
the pro forma financial information. On June 15, 1999, we filed a current report
on Form 8-K reporting the closing of the first transaction with BPP Retail, LLC,
with respect to nine of our retail properties, totaling approximately 1.4
million square feet, for an aggregate price of $207.4 million. On July 1, 1999,
we filed a current report on Form 8-K reporting the termination of the agreement
with Burnham Pacific Operating Partnership, L.P. On August 19, 1999, we filed a
current report on Form 8-K reporting the closing of the second transaction with
BPP Retail, LLC with respect to 12 of our retail properties, totaling
approximately 2.1 million square feet, for an aggregate price of $245.8 million.
On October 15, 1999, we filed a current report on Form 8-K regarding our 1999
property acquisitions. On November 16, 1999, we filed an 8-K containing certain
audited financial statements relating to our 1999 property acquisitions and
unaudited pro forma financial information pertaining to the 1999 property
acquisitions.

We are filing this current report on Form 8-K to (1) report that on December 1,
1999, we closed the third transaction with BPP Retail, LLC, with respect to four
retail properties, totaling approximately 0.9 million square feet, for an
aggregate price of $107.1 million and (2) to file updated pro forma financial
information, which reflects the closing of the third transaction with BPP
Retail, LLC and supersedes the pro forma financial information filed with the
November 16, 1999 Form 8-K.

We used the net proceeds from the first transaction for the following purposes:
$35.1 million to repay secured debt (including prepayment penalties of $3.3
million) related to the properties divested, $96.4 million to partially pay down
our unsecured debt facility, and $72.2 million for property acquisitions and for
general corporate purposes. We used the net proceeds from the second transaction
for the following purposes: $23.6 million to repay secured debt (including
prepayment penalties of $1.3 million) related to the properties divested, $111.7
million to partially pay down our unsecured debt facility, and $107.2 million
for potential property acquisitions and/or like-kind exchanges and for general
corporate purposes. We used the proceeds from the third closing to pay
approximately $1.0 million in transaction expenses, $106.1 million for potential
property acquisitions and/or like-kind exchanges and for general corporate
purposes.

The description of the disposition of the properties to BPP Retail, LLC
contained in this report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
purchase agreements related thereto, which are filed as exhibits to this report.

                                   BACKGROUND

On March 9, 1999, AMB Property, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Operating Partnership") in which AMB Property Corporation (the "Company") is
the sole general partner, signed three definitive agreements with BPP Retail,
LLC ("BPP Retail"), a co-investment entity between Burnham Pacific Properties
("BPP") and the California Public Employees' Retirement System ("CalPERS"),
pursuant to which, if fully consummated, BPP Retail would have acquired up to 28
retail shopping centers from the Operating Partnership, totaling 5.1 million
square feet, for an aggregate price of $663,400. The disposition of three of the
properties was subject to the consent of one of the Company's joint venture
partners, which did not consent to the sale of these properties. As a result,
the price with respect to the 25 remaining properties, totaling approximately
4.3 million square feet, was approximately $560,300. Pursuant to the agreements,
BPP Retail acquired the 25 centers in three separate transactions (the
"Divestiture") as follows:

</TABLE>

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of
September 30, 1999 has been prepared to reflect the Operating Partnership
divesting of the remaining four retail shopping centers in connection with the
third transaction of the Divestiture for an aggregate price of $107.1 million as
if the closing had occurred on September 30, 1999.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 has been prepared to
reflect: (i) the Divestiture, (ii) the sale of 7.75% Series D Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Units (the "Series D Preferred Units") of AMB Property II,
L.P., a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and the sale of 7.75% Series E
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the "Series E Preferred Units") of AMB
Property II, L.P. and the application of the resulting net proceeds and (iii)
the incremental effect of the acquisition of properties during 1999 by the
Operating Partnership (the "1999 Property Acquisitions") as if such transactions
and adjustments had occurred on January 1, 1998 and were carried forward through
September 30, 1999.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 has been prepared to reflect:
(i) the incremental effect of the acquisition of properties during 1998 by the
Operating Partnership (the "1998 Property Acquisitions"), (ii) pro forma debt
and other adjustments resulting from the sale of the Operating Partnership's
senior debt securities, the sale of 8.5% Series A Cumulative Redeemable
Preferred Units (the "Series A Preferred Units") of the Operating Partnership,
the sale of 8.625% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the "Series B
Preferred Units") of the Operating Partnership, the sale of 8.75% Series C
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the "Series C Preferred Units") of AMB
Property II, L.P., the sale of the Series D Preferred Units of AMB Property II,
L.P. and the sale of the Series E Preferred Units of AMB Property II, L.P., and
the application of the resulting net proceeds, (iii) the 1999 Property
Acquisitions and (iv) the Divestiture, as if such transactions and adjustments
had occurred on January 1, 1998 and were carried forward through December 31,
1998.

Acquisitions and dispositions which occurred subsequent to September 30, 1999,
other than the third transaction of the Divestiture, were not significant and
were therefore excluded from the accompanying unaudited pro forma financials.

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements should be read in
connection with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Operating Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1998 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 1999. In the opinion of management, the pro forma
condensed consolidated financial information provides for all adjustments
necessary to reflect the effects of the sale of the senior debt securities, the
sale of the Series A Preferred Units, the sale of the Series B Preferred Units,
the sale of the Series C Preferred Units, the sale of the Series D Preferred
Units, the sale of the Series E Preferred Units and the application of the
resulting net proceeds therefrom, the 1998 Property Acquisitions, the
Divestiture and the 1999 Property Acquisitions.

The pro forma information is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of the
consolidated results that would have occurred if the transactions and
adjustments reflected therein had been consummated in the period or on the date
presented, or on any particular date in the future, nor does it purport to
represent the financial position, results of operations or cash flows for future
periods.

                      CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

                            AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

                        (UNAUDITED, DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

(1.) Reflects the historical consolidated balance sheet of AMB Property, L.P.
(the "Operating Partnership") as of September 30, 1999. See the historical
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Operating
Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30,
1999.

On March 9, 1999, the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership in
which AMB Property Corporation (the "Company"), is the sole general partner,
signed three definitive agreements with BPP Retail, LLC ("BPP Retail"), a
co-investment entity between Burnham Pacific Properties ("BPP") and the
California Public Employees' Retirement System ("CalPERS"), pursuant to which,
if fully consummated, BPP Retail would have acquired up to 28 retail shopping
centers from the Operating Partnership, totaling 5.1 million square feet, for an
aggregate price of $663,400. The disposition of three of the properties was
subject to the consent of one of the Operating Partnership's joint venture
partners, which did not consent to the sale of these properties. As a result,
the price with respect to the 25 remaining properties, totaling approximately
4.3 million square feet, was approximately $560,300. The Operating Partnership
intends to dispose of the remaining three properties or its interests in the
joint ventures through which it holds the three properties and has therefore
continued to reflect the properties as properties held for divestiture in the
accompanying pro forma balance sheet.

Pursuant to the agreements, BPP Retail acquired the 25 centers in three separate
transactions (the "Divestiture"). Under the agreements, the Operating
Partnership had the right to extend the closing dates for a period of up to
either 20 or 50 days. The Operating Partnership exercised this right with
respect to the first and second transactions, which closed on June 15, 1999 and
August 4, 1999, respectively. Pursuant to the closing of the first transaction,
BPP Retail acquired nine retail shopping centers, totaling approximately 1.4
million square feet, for an aggregate price of approximately $207,400. The
Operating Partnership used the net proceeds from the first transaction to repay
secured debt of $35,100 (including prepayment penalties of $3,300) related to
the properties divested, to partially pay down $96,400 under the Operating
Partnership's unsecured credit facility, and $72,200 for property acquisitions
and for general corporate purposes. The first transaction resulted in an
approximate gain of $11,600 and an approximate extraordinary loss of $1,500,
consisting of prepayment penalties with an off-set for the write-off of debt
premiums related to the indebtedness extinguished.

On August 4, 1999, the second transaction with BPP Retail closed. Pursuant to
the closing of the second transaction, BPP Retail acquired 12 of the Operating
Partnership's retail shopping centers, totaling approximately 2.0 million square
feet, for an aggregate price of $245,800. The Operating Partnership used the
proceeds from the second transaction to repay secured debt of $23,600 (including
prepayment penalties of $1,800) related to the properties divested, to partially
pay down $111,700 under the Operating Partnership's unsecured credit facility,
to pay $1,000 in transaction expenses, and $107,200 for potential property
acquisitions and/or like-kind exchanges and for general corporate purposes. The
second transaction resulted in an approximate gain of $21,500 and an
extraordinary loss of approximately $1,300, consisting of prepayment penalties
of approximately $1,800 offset by the write-off of approximately $500 in debt
premiums related to the indebtedness extinguished.

In addition, the Operating Partnership entered into a definitive agreement,
subject to a financing condition, with BPP, pursuant to which, if fully
consummated, BPP would have acquired up to six additional retail centers,
totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet, for approximately $284,400. On
June 30, 1999, this agreement was terminated pursuant to its terms as a result
of BPP's decision not to waive the financing condition. Subsequently to
September 30, 1999, the Operating Partnership disposed of two of these retail
properties. The Operating Partnership currently intends to dispose of the
remaining three properties, either on an individual or portfolio basis, or its
interest in the joint venture which holds one of the three properties. For
purposes of the September 30, 1999 proformas, the Operating Partnership has
continued to reflect all five properties as properties held for divestiture in
the accompanying pro forma balance sheet.

In connection with the BPP Retail transactions, the Company has granted CalPERS
an option to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for
an exercise price of $25.00 per share that CalPERS may exercise on or before
March 31, 2000. The Company has registered the 2,000,000 shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise of the option.

(2.) The Operating Partnership closed the third transaction of the Divestiture
on December 1, 1999. The Operating Partnership used the proceeds of
approximately $107,100 from the third transaction to pay $1,000 in transaction
expenses, and $106,100 for potential property acquisitions and/or like-kind
exchanges and for general corporate purposes. The adjustments reflect the
elimination of the real estate assets being divested in connection with the
third transaction of the Divestiture. Of the pro forma balance in cash and cash
equivalents, approximately $94,500 represents cash in escrow. The third
transaction resulted in an estimated gain of approximately $12,000. The gain has
been allocated among the Company and the limited partners based on their
respective ownership of the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 1999.

                       NOTES AND ADJUSTMENTS TO PRO FORMA

                 CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                  FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

          (UNAUDITED, DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND UNIT DATA)

(1.) Reflects the historical consolidated operations of AMB Property, L.P. (the
"Operating Partnership") for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. See the
historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Operating Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999.

(2.) Reflects the elimination of the historical revenues and expenses for the
period from January 1, 1999 to June 15, 1999 related to the real estate assets
divested in connection with the first transaction of the Divestiture, the
elimination of the historical revenues and expenses for the period from January
1, 1999 to August 4, 1999 related to the real estate assets divested in
connection with the second transaction of the Divestiture and the elimination of
the historical revenues and expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 for the real estate assets divested in connection with the third
transaction of the Divestiture. The interest expense adjustment consists of a
reduction of interest related to the mortgage debt on the properties divested of
$2,077 and interest related to the partial pay down of the unsecured credit
facility with proceeds from the first and second Divestiture transactions of
$8,086.

(3.) In May 1999, AMB Property II, L.P. , a partnership in which a wholly owned
subsidiary of AMB Property Corporation ("The Company") owns an approximate 1%
general partnership interest and the Operating Partnership owns an approximate
99% common limited partnership interest, issued and sold 1,595,337 units of
7.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units at a price of $50.00 per
unit (the "Series D Preferred Units") in a private placement. Distributions are
cumulative from the date of original issuance and are payable quarterly in
arrears at a rate per unit equal to $3.875 per annum. The Series D Preferred
Units are redeemable by AMB Property II, L.P. on or after May 5, 2004, subject
to certain conditions, for cash at a redemption price equal to $50.00 per unit,
plus accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon, if any, to the redemption
date. The Series D Preferred Units are exchangeable, at specified times and
subject to certain conditions, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of the
Company's Series D Preferred Stock. AMB Property II, L.P. used the net proceeds
of approximately $77,800 to make a loan to the Operating Partnership in the
amount of approximately $20,100 and to purchase an unconsolidated joint venture
interest for approximately $57,700 from the Operating Partnership. The loan was
repaid in full in August 1999. The Operating Partnership used the funds to
partially repay borrowings under the unsecured credit facility.

In August 1999, AMB Property II, L.P. issued and sold 220,440 units of 7.75%
Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units at a price of $50.00 per unit
(the "Series E Preferred Units") in a private placement. Distributions are
cumulative from the date of original issuance and are payable quarterly in
arrears at a rate per unit equal to $3.875 per annum. The Series E Preferred
Units are redeemable by AMB Property II, L.P. on or after August 31, 2004,
subject to certain conditions, for cash at a redemption price equal to $50.00
per unit, plus accumulated and unpaid distributions thereon, if any, to the
redemption date. The Series E Preferred Units are exchangeable, at specified
times and subject to certain conditions, on a one-for-one basis, for shares of
the Company's Series E Preference Stock. AMB Property II, L.P. used the net
proceeds of approximately $10,800 to repay loans made to it by the Operating
Partnership. The Operating Partnership used the funds to partially repay amounts
outstanding under the unsecured credit facility and for general corporate
purposes.

The adjustments reflect a reduction of interest expense of approximately $2,006
related to the partial pay down of the unsecured credit facility with proceeds
from the sale of the Series D Preferred Units of AMB Property II, L.P. and the
sale of the Series E Preferred Units of AMB Property II, L.P. The adjustments
also reflect $2,686 related to Series D and Series E Preferred Unit
distributions at a rate of 7.75%.

The Operating Partnership purchased the 1999 Property Acquisitions with proceeds
from the Divestiture, borrowings on the unsecured credit facility, the
assumption of mortgage indebtedness and the issuance of Operating Partnership
units. The adjustments reflect additional interest expense of $3,891 related to
borrowings on the unsecured credit facility and assumption of mortgage
indebtedness related to the 1999 Property Acquisitions.

The East Valley Warehouse was vacant upon acquisition and is in the process of
being leased. As such, no property operations have been reflected in the
accompanying pro forma statement of operations related to this acquisition.

Also reflects the estimated incremental depreciation and amortization of $2,649
for the 1999 Property Acquisitions based on estimated useful lives of 40 years.

The Operating Partnership contributed the WOCAC Portfolio to AMB Institutional
Alliance Fund I, L.P. (the "Alliance Fund I") on September 24, 1999. The
Operating Partnership is projected to hold an approximate 20% general
partnership interest therein upon final closing of the Alliance Fund I. The
Operating Partnership consolidates the Alliance Fund I for financial reporting
purposes. The Alliance Fund I obtained an $80,000 secured credit facility to
acquire the WOCAC Portfolio from the Operating Partnership. The adjustments
also reflect additional interest expense of $3,728 related to this secured
credit facility. The Operating Partnership received approximately $100,000 from
the Alliance Fund I for its contribution of the WOCAC Portfolio. The Operating
Partnership used the $100,000 in proceeds to partially repay amounts
outstanding under the unsecured credit facility. The adjustments also include a
reduction of interest expense of $5,106 related to this transaction. Minority
interest of $768 has been reflected in the accompanying pro forma statement of
operations related to the WOCAC Portfolio.

Five of the property acquisitions, Jamesburg Property, Corporate Park
Industrial, Garland Industrial Portfolio, Minnetonka Industrial Portfolio and
South Point Business Park, represent a joint venture with a client of AMB
Investment Management in which the Operating Partnership owns a controlling
50.0005% interest. The joint venture acquisitions are accounted for on a
consolidated basis and, accordingly, minority interests of $2,384 has been
reflected relative to these acquisitions.

Two of the property acquisitions, Forbes and Southfield, represent the purchase
of vacant buildings which are in the process of being leased. As such, no
property operations have been reflected in the accompanying pro forma statement
of operations relative to these acquisitions.

Also reflects the acquisition of a non-controlling unconsolidated limited
partnership interest in an existing real estate joint venture which owns the
DuPage Elk Grove Property. As such, the Operating Partnership's incremental
share of equity in earnings of this joint venture of $2,988 is included in
interest and other income in the accompanying pro forma statement of operations.

Also reflects the estimated incremental depreciation and amortization of the
1998 Property Acquisitions based on estimated useful lives of 40 years and
additional interest expense related to the assumption of secured debt related
to the 1998 Property Acquisitions.

(3.) In June 1998, the Operating Partnership issued $400,000 aggregate principal
amount of unsecured notes ("Unsecured Senior Debt Securities") in an
underwritten public offering, of which the net proceeds of approximately
$394,466 were contributed to the Operating Partnership and used to repay amounts
outstanding under the unsecured credit facility. The Unsecured Senior Debt
Securities mature in June 2008, June 2015 and June 2018 and bear interest at a
weighted average rate of 7.18%.

In July, 1998, the Company sold 4,000,000 shares of 8.5% Series A Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Stock at $25.00 per share for $100,000 in an underwritten
public offering. These shares are redeemable solely at the option of the Company
on or after July 27, 2003. The net proceeds of $96,100 from the offering were
contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for 4,000,000 Series A
preferred units with the terms identical to the Series A Preferred Stock. The
Operating Partnership used these proceeds to partially repay borrowings under
the unsecured credit facility.

In November 1998, the Operating Partnership issued and sold 1,300,000 8.625%
Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units at a price of $50.00 per unit in
a private placement. Distributions are cumulative from the date of original
issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears at a rate per unit equal to
$4.3125 per annum. The Series B Preferred Units are redeemable by the Operating
Partnership on or after November 12, 2003, subject to certain conditions, for
cash at a redemption price equal to $50.00 per unit, plus accumulated and unpaid
distributions thereon, if any, to the redemption date. The Series B Preferred
Units are exchangeable, at specified times and subject to certain conditions, on
a one-for-one basis, for shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock. The
Operating Partnership used the net proceeds of $62,259 to repay partially
borrowings under the unsecured credit facility.

In November 1998, AMB Property II, L.P. issued and sold 2,200,000 units of 8.75%
Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units at a price of $50.00 per unit in
a private placement. Distributions are cumulative from the date of original
issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears at a rate per unit equal to $4.375
per annum. The Series C Preferred Units are redeemable by AMB Property II, L.P.
on or after November 24, 2003, subject to certain conditions, for cash at a
redemption price equal to $50.00 per unit, plus accumulated and unpaid
distributions thereon, if any, to the redemption date. The Series C Preferred
Units are exchangeable, at specified times and subject to certain conditions, on
a one-for-one basis, for shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock. AMB
Property II, L.P. used the net proceeds of $105,734 to make a loan to the
Operating Partnership, which used the funds to repay partially borrowings under
the unsecured credit facility. The loan to the Operating Partnership was repaid
in full in August 1999.

Reflects an adjustment to interest expense as follows:

Unsecured Senior Debt Securities..........................    $ 14,820
Unsecured Credit Facility.................................     (11,223)
                                                              --------
                                                              $  3,597
                                                              ========
</TABLE>

The net increase in pro forma interest expense is the result of the issuance of
unsecured senior debt securities which is partially offset by the repayment of
borrowings on the unsecured credit facility using the net proceeds from the sale
of the Unsecured Senior Debt Securities, Series A Preferred Units, Series B
Preferred Units, Series C Preferred Units, Series D Preferred Units and Series E
Preferred Units.

rate of 8.625%, Series C Preferred Unit distributions at a distribution rate of

year ended December 31, 1998 related to the real estate assets divested in
connection with the Divestiture. The interest expense adjustment consists of a

$4,928 and interest related to the partial pay down of the unsecured credit
facility with proceeds from the first and second transactions related to the
Divestiture of $6,075.
