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 shares of the Company's preferred stock ("Preferred Stock") 
represented by depositary shares pursuant to a Registration Statement, file 
no. 333-49911 (the "Registration Statement"), on Form S-3 under the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Company has filed a prospectus 
supplement (the "Prospectus Supplement") relating to the offering of 
4,000,000 depositary shares(the "Depositary Shares"), each representing 1/10 
of an 8.25% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share (the "Series E 
Preferred Shares").  An additional 600,000 Depositary Shares may be issued 
pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option.  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 the Company, the amendment 
(the "Designating Amendment") pursuant to which the terms of the 8.25% Series 
E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares will be issued, the form of Deposit 
Agreement pursuant to which the Depositary Shares will be issued 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.

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

(1) The Series E Preferred Shares and the representation of such Series E 
Preferred Shares by the Depositary Shares have been duly authorized by all 
necessary corporate action of the Company.

(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, (b) the Company has duly filed with the Indiana Secretary of 
State the Designating Amendment establishing the preferences, limitations and 
relative voting and other rights of the Series E Preferred Shares prior to 
issuance thereof and (c) the Series E Preferred Shares and the Depositary 
Shares have been issued, delivered, and paid for, such Series E Preferred 
Shares and Depositary Shares 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 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 with Form 8-K, to the incorporation 
by reference of this opinion as an exhibit to the registration statement of 
the Company and Duke Realty Limited Partnership (file no. 333-49911) and any 
registration statement filed under Rule 462(b) relating to such registration 
statement and to the reference to our firm under the heading "Legal Matters" 
in the Prospectus Supplement.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Bose McKinney & Evans
