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. 333-26845 (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 $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount 
of 6-3/4% Notes due May 30, 2008 (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, including but not limited to a certificate of the Secretary of the
Company rendered in connection with the closing of the sale of the Notes as to
action taken by or on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company.

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
