Duke Realty Limited Partnership
8888 Keystone Crossing, Suite 1200
Indianapolis, Indiana  46240

Dear Sirs:

We are acting as counsel to Duke Realty Limted Partnership, an Indiana limited
Partnership (the "Partnership"), in connection with the shelf registration by
the Partnership of debt securities of the Partnership pursuant to a Registration
Statement, file no. 33-61361 (the "Registration Statement"), on Form S-3 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Partnership has filed a prospectus
supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") relating to the offering of up to
$110,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Medium-Term Due Nine Months or
More from Date of Issue (the "Notes").  This opinion letter is supplemental to
the opinion letter filed as Exhibit 5 to the Registration Statement, as amended.

We have examined photostatic copies of the Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws of Duke Realty Investments, Inc.,
the sole general partner of the Partnership (the "Company"), and of the
Partnership's Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, the
indenture and supplemental indenture pursuant to which the Notes are to be
issued (together, the "Indenture") 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.  As to various questions of
fact material to our opinions, we have relied upon certificates of, or
communications with, officers of the Company as general partner of the
Partnership.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

(1) The issuance of the Notes has been duly authorized by the Company as general
partner of the Partnership.

(2) When (a) the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and such
state "blue sky" or securities laws as may be applicable have been complied with
and (b) the Notes have been issued and delivered for value as contemplated in
the Registration Statement and duly authenticated by the trustee under the
Indenture, the Notes will be duly and validly issued and will constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Partnership, enforceable against the
Partnership in accordance with their terms, except insofar as enforceability
thereof may be limited by usury, bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally or
general principles of equity.

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

No person or entity other than you may rely or claim reliance upon this opinion.
This opinion is limited to the matters stated herein and no opinion is implied
or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated.

We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Bose McKinney & Evans
