Gentlemen:
We have acted 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
common stock ("Common Stock") 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
Company has filed a prospectus supplement (the "Prospectus
Supplement") relating to the offering of 661,157 shares of Common
Stock. In connection therewith, you have requested our opinion
regarding certain United States Federal income tax matters
discussed in the Prospectus Supplement. All capitalized terms
used herein have their respective meanings as set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus unless
otherwise stated.
In rendering the opinions stated below, we have examined and
relied, with your consent, upon the following:
(i) The Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying
prospectus; and
(ii) Such other documents, records and instruments as we
have deemed necessary in order to enable us to render the opinion
referred to in this letter.

In our examination of the foregoing documents, we have
assumed, with your consent, that (i) all documents reviewed by us
are original documents, or true and accurate copies of original
documents, and have not been subsequently amended, (ii) the
signatures on each original document are genuine, (iii) each
party who executed the document had proper authority and
capacity, (iv) all representations and statements set forth in
such documents are true and correct, (v) all obligations imposed
by any such documents on the parties thereto have been or will be
performed or satisfied in accordance with their terms and (vi)
the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Services
Partnership at all times will be organized and operated in
accordance with the terms of such documents. We have further
assumed the accuracy of the statements and descriptions of the
Company's, the Operating Partnership's and the Services
Partnership's intended activities as described in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus Supplement and the reports
incorporated in the Registration Statement by reference.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the
opinion that the impact of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 and
the pending tax proposals described in the Prospectus Supplement
upon the Company and its shareholders and the tax consequences of
the ownership of Common Stock will be consistent with the
discussion contained in the section entitled "Certain Federal
Income Tax Considerations" in the Prospectus Supplement.
The opinions set forth in this letter represent our
conclusions as to the application of federal income tax laws
existing as of the date of this letter to the transactions
described herein. We can give no assurance that legislative
enactments, administrative changes or court decisions may not be
forthcoming that would modify or supersede our opinions.
Moreover, there can be no assurance that positions contrary to
our opinions will not be taken by the IRS, or that a court
considering the issues would not hold contrary to such opinions.
Further, the opinions set forth above represent our conclusions
based upon the documents, facts and representations referred to
above. Any material amendments to such documents, changes in any
significant facts or inaccuracy of such representations could
affect the opinions referred to herein. Although we have made
such inquiries and performed such investigations as we have
deemed necessary to fulfill our professional responsibilities as
counsel, we have not undertaken an independent investigation of
the facts referred to in this letter.

and to the reference to our firm under the heading "Legal
Matters" in the Prospectus Supplement.
