      PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (UNAUDITED)



The  following pro forma condensed financial statements for Duke-
Weeks Realty Corporation ("Duke-Weeks") include certain pro forma
adjustments to the historical financial statements of Duke Realty
Investments,  Inc. ("Duke") to reflect the merger (the  "Merger")
of Duke and Weeks Corporation ("Weeks"), which occurred on
July 2, 1999.

Weeks  Realty Limited Partnership ("Weeks Operating Partnership")
merged  with  Duke  Realty Limited Partnership  ("Duke  Operating
Partnership") immediately preceding the merger of Duke and Weeks.

The  Merger has been accounted for using the purchase  method  of
accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No.   16.   These  pro  forma  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Duke Form  10-Q
as of and for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

The  following pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet  is
based  upon the June 30, 1999 consolidated balance sheet of  Duke
and  the  June  30,  1999 consolidated balance  sheet  of  Weeks,
presented as if the Merger occurred on June 30, 1999.

The  following  pro  forma  condensed consolidated  statement  of
operations is based upon the consolidated statement of operations
for  the  six  months  ended June 30, 1999  of  Duke  and  Weeks,
presented as if the Merger occurred as of January 1, 1999.

The  pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not
purport  to  be  indicative of the actual financial  position  or
results  of  operations which would have been  obtained  assuming
that  the Merger had been completed as set forth above, or  which
may be obtained in the future.

 (3) The Duke Operating Partnership will issue preferred units
     valued at the book value (which approximates estimated fair
     value), of Weeks Operating Partnership Preferred C Units at June
     30, 1999. The Duke Operating Partnership Preferred Units will
     have the same economic attributes as the Weeks Operating
     Partnership Preferred C Units.

     valued at the estimated fair value of the Weeks Operating
     Partnership Preferred D Units at June 30, 1999.  The Duke
     Operating Partnership Preferred Units will have the same economic
     attributes as the Weeks Operating Partnership Preferred D Units.
     The adjustment to estimated fair value is based on the present
     value of amounts to be paid using pricing levels available to
     Duke for preferred securities with similar terms and features
     around March 1, 1999, the announced date of the Merger.

 (5) Represents the fair value (computed using an option pricing
     model) of Duke stock options and warrants to be issued to replace
     outstanding Weeks stock options and warrants. The Duke stock
     options and warrants will carry the same terms and remaining
     vesting schedule as the Weeks stock options and warrants being
     replaced and provide for the option to purchase up to 3,116,000
     of Duke common shares.

    companies occurred within the last 24 months and the
    acquisition or investment cost is representative of current
    market conditions.

(e)  Represents adjustments to Weeks secured and unsecured debt
  to reflect the premium or discount to adjust these financial
  instruments to their estimated fair value. The adjustment is
  based on the present value of amounts to be paid using interest
  rates available to Duke for debt obligations with similar terms
  and features. The borrowing rates available to Duke are assumed
  to be comparable to the borrowing rates available to the combined
  company. The adjustments are based on current effective interest
  rates ranging from 6.29% to 7.45%. See note (a)(6).

(f)  Represents the reclassification of $69,812 of Weeks'
  distributions in excess of net earnings to additional paid-in
  capital in accordance with purchase accounting.

  The depreciable portion of the additional basis is then
  allocated to properties placed in service prior to or during
  the first two quarters of 1999 and depreciation expense is
  computed over the time in service for each property during
  1999, based upon a 40 year estimated useful life. The
  depreciation expense attributable to the additional basis is
  $3,034, offset by a decrease in amortization expense of
  $2,500, which is related to the elimination of Weeks deferred
  costs as described in note (c).

(j) Minority interest share of purchase adjustments.

(k) The indicated operations for Weeks exclude a $490
   extraordinary loss (net of minority interests) incurred in the
   second quarter of 1999 related to the early extinguishment of
   certain debt obligations in connection with the Merger.  These
   costs would have no effect on the pro-forma financial
   statements of Duke-Weeks.
