"This transaction strengthens our relationship with AMB, a key real estate provider for us globally."
AMB Narita Air Cargo Centre - Building C totals 349,000 square feet (32,400 square meters) and is part of AMB's master-planned logistics park capable of supporting approximately 2.1 million square feet (194,500 square meters) in total at full build-out, and projected to be Japan's largest dedicated air cargo logistics park.
