Dear Sirs:

We are acting as counsel to Duke Realty Investments,
Inc., an Indiana corporation (the "Company"), in
connection with the shelf registration by the Company
of 211,475 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") to be sold
by certain shareholders in connection with the
exchange for Common Stock of units of partnership
interest of Duke Realty Limited Partnership.  The
Common Stock is the subject of a Registration
Statement, as amended (the "Registration Statement")
filed by the Company on Form S-3 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended.

We have examined photostatic copies of the Company's
Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Amended and Restated Bylaws and such other documents
and instruments as we have deemed necessary to enable
us to render the opinion set forth below.  We have
assumed the conformity to the originals of all
documents submitted to us as photostatic copies, the
authenticity of the originals of such documents, and
the genuineness of all signatures appearing thereon.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our
opinion that the Common Stock has been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action of the Company and
when (a) the applicable provisions of the Securities
Act of

Duke Realty Investments, Inc.

1933 and such state "blue sky" or securities laws as
may be applicable have been complied with and (b) any
shares of Common Stock to be issued by the Company
have been issued and delivered as described in the
Registration Statement, such shares of Common Stock
will be legally issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

We do not hold ourselves out as being conversant with
the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the
United States and the State of Indiana and, therefore,
this opinion is limited to the laws of those
jurisdictions.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed under
the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the Common
Stock.

Very truly yours,

BOSE McKINNEY & EVANS
