                         THE COMPANY

   The  Company is a self-administered and self-managed real
estate  investment  trust (a "REIT") that  began  operations
through a related entity in 1972. At September 30, 1997, the
Company  owned  a  diversified portfolio of  278  in-service
industrial, office and retail properties (the "Properties"),
encompassing approximately 34.2 million square feet  located
in seven states, and 31 buildings and one building expansion
encompassing  approximately 4.5 million  square  feet  under
development.  The  Company  also owned  approximately  1,500
acres   of   unencumbered  land  (the  "Land")  for   future
development,  of  which  approximately  72%  is  zoned   for
industrial  use and which is typically located  adjacent  to
the  Properties.  The Company provides leasing,  management,
construction, development and other tenant-related  services
for  the  Properties and certain properties owned  by  third
parties.  The  Company believes that the  Midwest  offers  a
relatively  strong  and  stable economy  compared  to  other
regions of the United States and provides significant growth
potential   due   to   its  central  location,   established
manufacturing  base, skilled work force and  moderate  labor
costs.

   The Company has developed approximately 52 million square
feet of commercial property since its founding including  an
average  of approximately 4.4 million square feet  per  year
during  the  last  five  years.  In  addition,  the  Company
acquired  approximately 8.9 million square feet  during  the
three  years ended December 31, 1996. During the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, the Company placed in service  3.9
million  square  feet of new development  and  acquired  3.4
million square feet of property.

   The  Company manages approximately 47 million square feet
of property, including over 8.2 million square feet owned by
third parties. The Company manages approximately 35% and 29%
of  all  competitive suburban office, warehousing and  light
manufacturing   space   in  Indianapolis   and   Cincinnati,
respectively. In addition to providing services to more than
1,900  tenants in the Properties, the Company provides  such
services to over 900 tenants in 92 properties owned by third
parties. Based on market data maintained by the Company, the
Company  believes that it was responsible in the first  nine
months  of  1997 for approximately 67% and 34%  of  the  net
absorption (gross space leased minus lease terminations  and
expirations) of competitive suburban office, warehousing and
light  manufacturing space in Indianapolis  and  Cincinnati,
respectively.  The  Company  believes  that   its   dominant
position  in the primary markets in which it operates  gives
it a competitive advantage in its real estate activities.

   All of the Company's interests in the Properties and Land
are held directly or indirectly by, and substantially all of
its  operations  relating  to the Properties  are  conducted
through  Duke  Realty  Limited Partnership  (the  "Operating
Partnership"). Partnership interests ("Units") in the Operating
Partnership may be exchanged by the holders thereof, other than
the Company, for Common Stock of the Company on a one-for-one 
basis. Upon an exchange of Units for Common Stock, the Company's
percentage interest in the Operating Partnership will increase.
The Company controls the Operating Partnership as the sole general
partner and owner, as of September 30, 1997 of approximately 92% of the
                              S - 3
<PAGE>
Units. In addition, the  senior management team of the Company
owns approximately 10.75% of the Company through Common Stock and
Unit ownership.

   On  October  23, 1997, the Company's Board  of  Directors
raised its regular quarterly common dividend from $.295  per
share  to  $.30 per share, payable on November 28,  1997  to
common   shareholders of record on November 14,  1997.  This
dividend  equals $1.20 on an annualized basis.  The  Company
effected a two-for-one split of its common stock (the "Stock
Split")  which  was  paid  on  August  25,  1997  to  common
shareholders  of record on August 18, 1997.  Share  and  per
share  amounts  in  this  Prospectus  Supplement  have  been
restated to reflect the effect of the Stock Split.

FINANCING

   In  July  1997, the Company issued 3.0 million Depositary
Shares, each representing 1/10 of a Series B Cumulative Step-
Up  Redeemable  Preferred  Share, raising  net  proceeds  of
$146.1 million. These securities are not redeemable prior to
September  30,  2007 and offer a cumulative distribution  of
7.99%  through  September 2012, and  9.99%  thereafter.  The
proceeds  of  this financing were fully used to  reduce  the
outstanding  balance  on  the Company's  unsecured  line  of
credit  and  to  fund  the development  and  acquisition  of
additional rental properties.

   The Company issued $100 million of unsecured Pass-through
Asset Trust Securities ("PATS") on August 21, 1997. The PATS
bear interest at a coupon rate of 6.95% and mature on August
15,  2004.  The effective rate of the PATS is 7.347%,  which
includes  the effect of the settlement of a forward Treasury
lock agreement which the Company entered into in April 1997.
The  Company and an affiliate of the placement agent for the
PATS  can  effectively agree to reset the interest rate  and
remarket the underlying notes with a maturity of August  15,
2011.

   The  Company  reduced the interest  rate  on  its  $150.0
million  unsecured  line of credit from  the  30-day  London
Interbank  Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.25% to  LIBOR  plus
1.00%  effective March 27, 1997. Effective August 28,  1997,
the unsecured line of credit was increased to $200.0 million
and  the interest rate was reduced to LIBOR plus .80%.  This
line of credit also includes a "competitive bid option"  and
matures in April 2001.

   In  September 1997, the Company issued approximately 10.5
million shares of its Common Stock for public sale through a
group  of  underwriters,  raising  net  proceeds  of  $214.4
million.  The Company also issued 926,280 shares  of  Common
Stock to a unit trust, raising net proceeds of approximately
$18.9 million.

DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITIONS

   During  the  first  eleven months of  1997,  the  Company
completed development of and placed in service 29 properties
and  one  property expansion comprising 5.3  million  square
feet  at a total cost of $197.9 million. The Company had  21
properties and two property expansions under development  at
November  30, 1997 comprising 4.2 million square feet
                        S - 5
which will  have  a  total cost of $203.4 million upon completion.
Also  during  the first eleven months of 1997,  the  Company
acquired  83 properties with 8.3 million square  feet  at  a
total cost of $558.9 million.

   These property additions (the "New Properties"), totaling
17.9  million  square feet, consist of 72%  industrial,  25%
office  and  3% retail projects. The total cost of  the  New
Properties is expected to be $994.4 million. At November 30,
1997,  the New Properties which have been placed in  service
are  92%  leased, and the New Properties under  construction
are  62% pre-leased for a combined total of 85% leased.  The
New  Properties  are expected to provide a weighted  average
unleveraged stabilized return on cost (computed as  property
annual  contractual net operating income ("NOI") divided  by
total  project  costs)  of  10.7% with  anticipated  leasing
activity.  The  annual contractual NOI to be generated  from
the  New Properties, once placed in service, will be  $106.0
million with anticipated additional  leasing.

   The  Company's  expectations of total cost  and  weighted
average  unleveraged stabilized return  on  cost  constitute
forward-looking  information  that  is  subject   to   risks
inherent in the completion of construction of the properties
under development and the leasing of any unleased portion of
the  properties.  Such risks could cause actual  results  to
differ materially from the Company's expectations.

   The following table sets forth information regarding each
of the New Properties as of November 30, 1997.

RECENT ACQUISITIONS

   During  the fourth quarter of 1997, the Company purchased
two   large  portfolios  of  properties  in  St.  Louis  and
Minneapolis  (the  "Recent Acquisitions") for  an  aggregate
purchase price of approximately $297.9 million.

  The following describes each of the Recent Acquisitions.

   BAUR  PROPERTIES.  In October 1997, the Company  acquired
Baur  Properties' existing rental properties and  operations
in  St. Louis. Baur Properties has been in operation in  St.
Louis  for over 43 years and is one of the leading  suburban
office  developers  and operators in the Midwest.  The  Baur
rental  property portfolio consists of eight suburban office
buildings  totaling 904,000 square feet and three industrial
buildings totaling 78,000 square feet. Seven of the suburban
office projects are located in Maryville Centre, one of  the
premier  suburban office parks in St. Louis. The acquisition
also  included undeveloped land to accommodate approximately
one  million  square  feet  of  additional  suburban  office

development and the property management and development operations
of Baur Properties.  Accordingly, Edward T. Baur,  the  Chairman  of
Baur  Properties, became Vice President and General  Manager
of  the  Company's  St.  Louis operations.  Along  with  its
existing operations in St. Louis, the Company believes  this
acquisition will make it the dominant real estate  developer
in  this market. The Company believes this acquisition is in
accordance  with its strategy of dominating  its  Midwestern
markets.

   R.L.  JOHNSON COMPANY.  In October 1997,  the  Company
acquired  R.L. Johnson Company's existing rental  properties
and operations in Minneapolis. R.L. Johnson Company has been
in  operation  for over 34 years and is one of  the  leading
developers  and  operators  of  industrial  real  estate  in
Minneapolis.  The  R.L.  Johnson rental  property  portfolio
consists  of  41 industrial buildings totaling  3.2  million
square  feet.  Robb Johnson, the President of  R.L.  Johnson
Company,  became Vice President and General Manager  of  the
Company's Minneapolis operations. The Company believes  this
acquisition is in accordance with its strategy of dominating
its Midwestern markets.


                       USE OF PROCEEDS

   The  net  proceeds to the Company from the  sale  of  the
Common Stock offered hereby are expected to be approximately
$9.5  million. The Company presently intends to use the  net
proceeds  to retire the outstanding balance on its lines  of
credit  (the "Lines of Credit") and to fund development  and
acquisition  of additional rental properties.   See  "Recent
Developments." The Lines of Credit are expected to  have  an
outstanding  balance  of  approximately  $10.0  million   on
December  23, 1997, bearing interest at LIBOR plus  .65%  to
 .80%.

   The  last reported sale price of the Common Stock on  the
New  York  Stock Exchange on December 18, 1997 was $22.25  per
share.  As of December 15, 1997, there were 4,371 registered
holders of Common Stock.

   Since  its  organization in 1986, the  Company  has  paid
regular and uninterrupted dividends. The Company intends  to
continue to declare quarterly dividends on its Common Stock.
However,  no  assurances can be given as to the  amounts  of
future  dividends  as  such dividends  are  subject  to  the
Company's  cash  flow  from operations, earnings,  financial
condition,  capital requirements and such other  factors  as
the  Board  of  Directors deems relevant.  The  Company  has
determined   that  approximately  1%  of   the   per   share
distribution for 1996 represented return of capital  to  the
shareholders  for income tax purposes. No assurance  can  be
given that such percentage will not change in future years.

          CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

GENERAL

   The  provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,  as
amended  (the  "Code"),  pertaining  to  REITs  are   highly
technical and complex. The following is a brief and  general
summary  of  certain  provisions that currently  govern  the
federal  income  tax  treatment  of  the  Company  and   its
shareholders. For the particular provisions that govern  the
federal  income  tax  treatment  of  the  Company  and   its
shareholders, reference is made to Sections 856 through  860
of  the  Code and the regulations thereunder. The  following
summary is qualified in its entirety by such reference.

  Investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors with
respect  to  the  appropriateness of an  investment  in  the
Common  Stock  offered hereby and with respect  to  the  tax
consequences arising under federal law and the laws  of  any
state,  municipality or other taxing jurisdiction, including
tax  consequences  resulting from such  investor's  own  tax
characteristics. As used in this section, the term "Company"
refers solely to Duke Realty Investments, Inc.

   Management  believes the Company was  organized  and  has
operated,  and  intends to continue to operate,  in  such  a
manner  as  to  meet the requirements for qualification  and
taxation as a REIT under the Code, but no assurance  can  be
given that the Company has so qualified or will at all times
so qualify. In the opinion of Bose McKinney & Evans, counsel
to  the  Company,  assuming  the Company  was  organized  in
conformity  with  and  has satisfied  the  requirements  for
qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code for each
of  its taxable years from and including the first year  for
which  the Company made the election to be taxed as a  REIT,
the proposed method of operation of the Company  will permit
the Company to continue to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for
its  current and subsequent taxable years. This  opinion  is
based  upon certain assumptions relating to the organization
and  operation of the Company, the Operating Partnership and
their   subsidiaries   and  is  conditioned   upon   certain
representations made by Company personnel and affiliates  as
to  certain  factual matters relating to the Company's  past
operations  and the intended manner of future  operation  of
the   Company,   the   Operating   Partnership   and   their
subsidiaries.

   To  qualify as a REIT under the Code for a taxable  year,
the Company must meet certain organizational and operational
requirements,  which generally require it to  be  a  passive
investor  in  operating real estate and to  avoid  excessive
concentration of ownership of its capital stock.  So long as
the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT and distributes
at  least  95% of its REIT taxable income (computed  without
regard   to  net  capital  gain   and  the  dividends   paid
deduction) for its taxable year to its shareholders, it will
not  be  subject to federal income tax with respect to  such
income  that it distributes to its shareholders. The Company
will  be taxed at regular corporate rates on all income  not
distributed to shareholders. REITs also may incur taxes  for
certain  other activities or to the extent distributions  do
not satisfy certain other requirements.

  If the Company fails to qualify during any taxable year as
a  REIT, unless certain relief provisions are available,  it
will be subject to tax (including any applicable alternative
minimum  tax)  on  its taxable income at  regular  corporate
rates,  which  could  result  in  a  discontinuation  of  or
substantial  reduction  in  dividends  to  shareholders  and
therefore   have   a  material  adverse  effect   upon   its
shareholders. If disqualified for taxation as a REIT  for  a
taxable  year,  the Company would also be  disqualified  for
taxation  as  a REIT for the four taxable years  thereafter,
unless  such failure were considered to be due to reasonable
cause and not willful neglect.

   In any year in which the Company qualifies to be taxed as
a  REIT,  distributions  made to  its  shareholders  out  of
current or accumulated earnings and profits will be taxed to
shareholders as ordinary income except that distributions of
net  capital gains designated by the Company as capital gain
dividends will be taxed as long-term capital gain income  to
the  shareholders.  However, corporate shareholders  may  be
required  to  treat  up  to  20%  of  certain  capital  gain
dividends  as  ordinary income. Corporate shareholders  will
also  not  be eligible for the dividends received  deduction
with respect to ordinary or capital gain dividends.  To the 
extent that distributions exceed  current or accumulated
earnings and profits, they will constitute  a return  of
capital, rather than dividend  or  capital  gain income,  and
will  reduce the basis for  the  shareholder's Common Stock
with respect to which the distribution is  paid or, to the
extent that they exceed such basis, will be taxed in the same
manner as gain from the sale of  that  Common Stock.

RECENT LEGISLATION

   Prospective purchasers should be aware that the  recently
enacted  Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (the "1997  Act")  made
numerous changes to the Code, including reducing the maximum
tax  imposed on net capital gains from the sale or  exchange
of  assets  held  for  more than 18 months  by  individuals,
trusts  and  estates  to  20%.  This  reduced  tax  rate  is
effective for sales and exchanges occurring after  July  28,
1997.  The  1997  Act  also makes  certain  changes  to  the
requirements  to  qualify as a REIT and to the  taxation  of
REITs and their shareholders.

   The 1997 Act contains significant changes to the taxation
of  capital  gains of individuals, trusts and  estates.  For
gains  realized after July 28, 1997, and subject to  certain
exceptions, the maximum rate of tax on net capital gains  of
individuals, trusts and estates from the sale or exchange of
assets held for more than 18 months has been reduced to 20%,
and  the  maximum rate is reduced to 18% for assets acquired
after  December 31, 2000 and held for more than five  years.
For taxpayers who would be subject to a maximum tax rate  of
15%,  the  rate on net capital gains is reduced to 10%,  and
effective  for taxable years commencing after  December  31,
2000,  the  rate is reduced to 8% for assets held  for  more
than  five  years.  The maximum rate for net  capital  gains
attributable  to the sale of depreciable real property  held
for  more  than  18  months is 25%  to  the  extent  of  the
deductions  for depreciation with respect to such  property.
Long-term  capital  gain allocated to a shareholder  by  the
Company  will be subject to the 25% rate to the extent  that
the  gain does not exceed depreciation on real property sold
by  the  Company. The maximum rate of capital gains tax  for
capital assets held more than one year but not more than  18
months  remains  at 28%. The taxation of  capital  gains  of
corporations was not changed by the 1997 Act.

   The  1997 Act also includes several provisions  that  are
intended to simplify the taxation of REITs. These provisions
are effective for taxable years beginning after the date  of
enactment of the 1997 Act which, as to the Company,  is  its
taxable   year  commencing  January  1,  1998.   First,   in
determining  whether a REIT satisfies the  income  tests,  a
REIT's  rental  income from a property  will  not  cease  to
qualify  as  "rents from real property" merely  because  the
REIT  performs  services for a tenant other  than  permitted
customary services if the amount that the REIT is deemed  to
have  received  as a result of performing such impermissible
services does not exceed one percent of all amounts received
directly  or  indirectly by the REIT with  respect  to  such
property.  The  amount that a REIT will be  deemed  to  have
received  for performing impermissible services is at  least
150%  of  the  direct  cost to the REIT of  providing  those
services. Second, certain non-cash income, including  income
from   cancellation  of  indebtedness  and  original   issue
discount,  will  be excluded from income in determining  the
amount  of  dividends that a REIT is required to distribute.
Third, a REIT may elect to retain and pay income tax on  any
net long-term capital gains and require its shareholders  to
include  such  undistributed  net  capital  gains  in  their
income.  If  a  REIT  makes  such an  election,  the  REIT's
shareholders  would  receive a tax  credit  attributable  to
their  share  of capital gains tax paid by the REIT  on  the
undistributed  net  capital gain that was  included  in  the
shareholders' income, and such shareholders will receive  an
increase  in  the  basis of their shares in  the  amount  of
undistributed  net  capital gain included  in  their  income
reduced  by the amount of the credit. Fourth, the  1997  Act
repeals the requirement that a REIT receive less than 30% of
its  gross income from the sale or disposition of  stock  or
securities held for less than one year, gain from prohibited
transactions,  and gain from certain sales of real  property
held less than four years. Finally, the 1997 Act contains  a
number  of technical provisions that reduce the risk that  a
REIT will inadvertently cease to qualify as a REIT.

                        UNDERWRITING

  Subject to the terms and conditions contained in the terms
agreement  and related underwriting agreement (collectively,
the  "Underwriting Agreement"), the Company  has  agreed  to
sell   to   Legg   Mason  Wood  Walker   Incorporated   (the
"Underwriter"), and the Underwriter has agreed  to  purchase
from  the  Company, 449,438 shares of Common  Stock  at  the
public  offering price less the underwriting  discounts  and
commissions  set forth on the cover page of this  Prospectus
Supplement.  The  Underwriting Agreement provides  that  the
Underwriter's  obligation to purchase the  Common  Stock  is
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including
the  receipt  of certain legal opinions. The nature  of  the
Underwriter's  obligation is such that it  is  committed  to
purchase all of the shares of Common Stock if any shares are
purchased.

   The  Underwriter  intends  to deposit  the  Common  Stock
offered  hereby with the trustee of Legg Mason  REIT  Trust,
December  1997  Series  (the  "Trust"),  a  registered  unit
investment trust under the Investment Company Act  of  1940,
as  amended, in exchange for units of the Trust. If  all  of
the Common Stock so deposited is valued at the last reported
sale price for the Common Stock on the NYSE on December  18,
1997,  the  aggregate  underwriting  commissions  would   be
$450,022.27.  The  Underwriter  is  acting  as  sponsor  and
depositor  of  the  Trust,  and is therefore  considered  an
affiliate of the Trust.

   In the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed  to
indemnify   the  Underwriter  against  certain  liabilities,
including liabilities under the Securities Act of  1933,  as
amended, or to contribute to payments the Underwriter may be
required to make in respect thereof.

   In  connection  with  the  Offering,  the  rules  of  the
Securities and Exchange Commission permit the Underwriter to
engage  in certain transactions that stabilize the price  of
the  Common Stock. Such transactions may consist of bids  or
purchases  for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining
the price of the Common Stock.

   If the Underwriter creates a short position in the Common
Stock  in  connection with the Offering (i.e., if  it  sells
more  shares of Common Stock than are set forth on the cover
page  of  this  Prospectus Supplement), the Underwriter  may
reduce that short position by purchasing Common Stock in the
open market.

   In  general, purchases of a security for the  purpose  of
stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause  the
price  of  the security to be higher than it might otherwise
be in the absence of such purchases.

    Neither  the  Company  nor  the  Underwriter  makes  any
representation  or  prediction  as  to  the   direction   or
magnitude  of  any  effect that the  transactions  described
above  may  have  on  the  price of  the  Common  Stock.  In
addition, neither the Company nor the Underwriter makes  any
representation  that  the Underwriter will  engage  in  such
transactions or that such transactions, once commenced, will
not be discontinued without notice.

  In the ordinary course of business, the Underwriter has in
the  past  and  may in the future from time to time  provide
investment   banking,  financial  advisory  and   commercial
banking services to the Company and its affiliates for which
customary  compensation has been and will be  received.  The
Underwriter  has acted as one of several representatives  of
various underwriters in connection with various offerings of
the Company's Common Stock in 1993 through 1997.

                        LEGAL MATTERS

      In  addition  to  the legal opinions for  the  Company
referred  to  under  "Legal Opinions"  in  the  accompanying
Prospectus,  the description of Federal income  tax  matters
contained  in  this Prospectus Supplement entitled  "Certain
Federal Income Tax Considerations" is based upon the opinion
of  Bose  McKinney & Evans. The legality of  the  shares  of
Common  Stock  offered hereby will be passed  upon  for  the
Underwriters  by  Hunton  &  Williams,  Richmond,  Virginia.
Hunton & Williams will rely on Bose McKinney & Evans  as  to
certain matters of Indiana law.
