PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Duke Realty Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was formed on
October 4, 1993, when Duke Realty Investments, Inc. (the "Predecessor
Company" or the "General Partner") contributed all of its properties
and related assets and liabilities along with the net proceeds of
$309.3 million from the issuance of an additional 14,000,833 shares
through an offering (the "1993 Offering") to the Partnership.
Simultaneously, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Duke
Associates, a full-service commercial real estate firm operating in the
Midwest. The General Partner was formed in 1985 and qualifies as a real
estate investment trust under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.
The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership
currently owning 88.9% of the partnership interest ("General Partner
Units"). The remaining 11.1% of the Partnership is owned by limited
partners ("Limited Partner Units" and, together with the General
Partner Units, the "Common Units").

The Partnership's primary business segment is the ownership and rental
of industrial, office and retail properties throughout the Midwest. As
of December 31, 1996, it owned interests in a diversified portfolio of
266 rental properties comprising 31.2 million square feet (including 17
properties and one expansion comprising 3.8 million square feet under
development). Substantially all of these properties are located in the
Partnership's primary markets of Indianapolis, Indiana; Cincinnati,
Cleveland, and Columbus, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; St. Louis, Missouri
and Nashville, Tennessee. In addition to its Rental Operations, the
Partnership through its Service Operations provides, on a fee basis,
leasing, management, construction, development and other real estate
services for approximately 8.7 million square feet of properties owned
by third parties. See Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Item 8 "Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data" for financial information of these
industry segments. The Partnership conducts its Service Operations
through Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership and Duke Construction
Limited Partnership, in which the Partnership has an 89% profits
interest (after certain preferred returns on partners' capital
accounts) and effective control of their operations. All references to
the "Partnership" in this Form 10-K Report include the Partnership and
those entities owned or controlled by the Partnership, unless the
context indicates otherwise. The Partnership has the largest commercial
real estate operations in Indianapolis and Cincinnati and is one of the
largest real estate companies in the Midwest.
-1-


The Partnership's headquarters and executive offices are located in
Indianapolis, Indiana. In addition, the Partnership has seven regional
offices located in Cincinnati, Ohio; Columbus, Ohio; Cleveland, Ohio;
Decatur, Illinois; Detroit, Michigan; Nashville, Tennessee and St.
Louis, Missouri. The Partnership had 480 employees as of December 31,
1996.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

The Partnership's business objective is to increase its Funds From
Operations ("FFO") by (i) maintaining and increasing property occupancy
and rental rates through the aggressive management of its portfolio of
existing properties; (ii) expanding existing properties; (iii)
developing and acquiring new properties; and (iv) providing a full line
of real estate services to the Partnership's tenants and to third-
parties. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts as net income or loss excluding gains or losses from
debt restructuring and sales of property plus depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for minority interest,
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures (adjustments for
minority interests, unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are
calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis). While management believes
that FFO is a relevant measure of the Partnership's operating
performance because it is widely used by industry analysts to measure
the operating performance of equity REITs and real estate partnerships,
such amount does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by
generally accepted accounting principles, should not be considered as
an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Partnership's
operating performance, and is not indicative of cash available to fund
all cash flow needs. As a fully integrated commercial real estate firm,
the Partnership believes that its in-house leasing, management,
development and construction services and the Partnership's significant
base of commercially zoned and unencumbered land in existing business
parks should give the Partnership a competitive advantage in its future
development activities.

The Partnership believes that the analysis of real estate opportunities
and risks can be done most effectively at regional or local levels. As
a result, the Partnership intends to continue its emphasis on
increasing its market share and effective rents in its primary markets
within the Midwest. The Partnership also expects to utilize its
approximately 1,200 acres of unencumbered land and its many business
relationships with more than 2,800 commercial tenants to expand its
build-to-suit business (development projects substantially pre-leased
to a single tenant) and to pursue other development and acquisition
opportunities in its primary markets and elsewhere in the Midwest. The
Partnership believes that this regional focus will allow it to assess
market supply and demand for real estate more effectively as well as to
capitalize on its strong relationships with its tenant base.

The Partnership's policy is to seek to develop and acquire Class A
commercial properties located in markets with high growth potential for
Fortune 500 companies and other quality regional and local firms. The
Partnership's industrial and suburban office development focuses on
business parks and mixed-use developments suitable for development of
multiple projects on a single site where the Partnership can create and
control the business environment. These business parks and mixed-use
developments generally include restaurants and other amenities which
the Partnership believes will create an atmosphere that is particularly
efficient and desirable. The Partnership's retail development focuses
on community, power and neighborhood centers in its existing markets.
As a fully integrated real estate company, the Partnership is able to
arrange for or provide to its industrial, office and retail tenants not
only well located and well maintained facilities, but also additional
services such as build-to-suit construction, tenant finish
construction, expansion flexibility and advertising and marketing
services.
-2-


Consistent with its business strategy of expanding in attractive
Midwestern markets, the Partnership carefully analyzed the real estate
investment potential of several major Midwestern metropolitan areas.
Based on this analysis, management concluded that the St. Louis and
Cleveland markets offer attractive real estate investment returns in
the industrial and suburban office markets based on the following
factors: (i) fragmented competition; (ii) strong real estate
fundamentals; and (iii) favorable economic conditions.

In 1995, the Partnership established a regional office in St. Louis and
acquired 463,000 square feet of suburban office properties and 153
acres of land for the future development of industrial properties. In
February 1996, the Partnership acquired a 782,000 gross square foot
suburban office portfolio and the operating personnel of an independent
real estate developer and operator in Cleveland. The Partnership
intends to aggressively pursue the development and acquisition of
additional rental properties in both the St. Louis and Cleveland
markets.

All of the Partnership's properties are located in areas that include
competitive properties. Such properties are generally owned by
institutional investors, other REITs or local real estate operators;
however, no single competitor or small group of competitors is dominant
in the Partnership's markets. The supply and demand of similar
available rental properties may affect the rental rates the Partnership
will receive on its properties. Based upon the current occupancy rates
in the Partnership and competitive properties, the Partnership believes
there will not be significant competitive pressure to lower rental
rates in the near future.

FINANCING STRATEGY

The Partnership seeks to maintain a well-balanced, conservative and
flexible capital structure by: (i) currently targeting a ratio of long-
term debt to total market capitalization in the range of 25% to 40%;
(ii) extending and sequencing the maturity dates of its debt; (iii)
borrowing primarily at fixed rates; (iv) generally pursuing current and
future long-term debt financings and refinancings on an unsecured
basis; and (v) maintaining conservative debt service and fixed charge
coverage ratios. Management believes that these strategies have enabled
and should continue to enable the General Partner and the Partnership
to access the debt and equity capital markets for their long-term
requirements such as debt refinancings and financing development and
acquisitions of additional rental properties. The General Partner and
the Partnership have raised approximately $626 million through public
debt and equity offerings during the three years ended December 31,
1996. Based on these offerings, the General Partner and the Partnership
have demonstrated their abilities to access the public markets as a
source of capital to fund future growth. In addition, as discussed
under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations," the Partnership has a $150
million line of credit available for short-term fundings of development
and acquisition of additional rental properties. The Partnership's debt
to total market capitalization ratio (total market capitalization is
defined as the total market value of all Common and Preferred Units
outstanding plus outstanding indebtedness) at March 7, 1997 was 25.3%.
The market value of the Common and Preferred Units is assumed to be
equal to the General Partner's market value of Common and Preferred
Shares. The Partnership's ratio of earnings to debt service and ratio
of earnings to fixed charges for the year ended December 31, 1996 were
2.62x and 2.20x, respectively. In computing the ratio of earnings to
debt service, earnings have been calculated by adding debt service to
income before gains or losses on property sales. Debt service consists
of interest expense and recurring principal amortization (excluding
maturities) and excludes amortization of debt issuance costs. In
computing the
-3-



ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings have been calculated by
adding fixed charges, excluding capitalized interest, to income before
gains or losses on property sales. Fixed charges consist of interest
costs, whether expensed or capitalized, the interest component of
rental expense, amortization of debt issuance costs and preferred stock
dividend requirements. Management believes these measures to be
consistent with its financing strategy.

OTHER

The Partnership's operations are not dependent on a single or few
customers as no single customer accounts for more than 2% of the
Partnership's total revenue. The Partnership's operations are not
subject to any significant seasonal fluctuations. The Partnership
believes it is in compliance with environmental regulations and does
not anticipate material effects of continued compliance.

For additional information regarding the Partnership's investments and
operations, see Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and Item 8, "Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data." For additional information about
the Partnership's business segments see Item 8, "Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data."

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership owns an interest in a
diversified portfolio of 266 commercial properties encompassing
approximately 31.2 million net rentable square feet (including 17
properties and one expansion comprising 3.8 million square feet under
development) located primarily in five states and approximately 1,200
acres of land for future development. The properties are described on
the following pages.

(2)Funds From Operations, is defined by the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income or loss excluding
gains or losses from debt restructuring and sales of property
plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
minority interest, unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures
(adjustments for minority interests, unconsolidated partnerships
and joint ventures are calculated to reflect Funds From Operations
on the same basis). Funds From Operations does not represent
cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting
principles, should not be considered as an alternative to net
income as an indicator of the Partnership's operating performance,
and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow
needs. In March 1995, NAREIT issued a clarification of its
definition of FFO effective for years beginning after December
31, 1995. The clarification provides that amortization of deferred
financing costs and depreciation of non-rental real estate assets are
no longer to be added back to net income in arriving at FFO. The
Partnership adopted these changes effective January 1, 1996, and
the calculations of FFO for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994, 1993 and 1992 have been revised accordingly.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW
--------
The Partnership's operating results depend primarily upon income from
the rental operations of its industrial, office and retail properties
located in its primary
- 14 -


markets. This income from rental operations is substantially influenced
by the supply and demand for the Partnership's rental space in its
primary markets. In addition, the Partnership's continued growth is
dependent upon its ability to maintain occupancy rates and increase
rental rates on its in-service portfolio and to continue development and
acquisition of additional rental properties.

The Partnership's primary markets in the Midwest have continued to
offer strong and stable local economies and have provided attractive
new development opportunities because of their central location,
established manufacturing base, skilled work force and moderate labor
costs. Consequently, the Partnership's occupancy rate of its in-
service portfolio has exceeded 92.0% the last two years and was 95.0%
at December 31, 1996. The Partnership expects to maintain its
overall occupancy at comparable levels and also expects to increase
rental rates as leases are renewed or new leases are executed. This
stable occupancy as well as increasing rental rates should improve
the Partnership's results of operations from its in-service
properties. The Partnership's strategy for continued growth also
includes developing and acquiring additional rental properties in its
primary markets and expanding into other attractive Midwestern
markets.

A new statistic that the Partnership started tracking in 1996 is Same
Property Performance which compares those properties that were fully
in-service for all of 1995 and 1996. Because of the rapid growth of
the Partnership, this population of properties only represented about
42.2% of the in-service portfolio at year end. As a result of the
loss of a 90,000 square foot downtown Cincinnati office tenant in
1996, along with the effects of a property tax reassessment in
another downtown Cincinnati property, Same Property FFO increased
only 1.1%. Without the decrease in the downtown Cincinnati portfolio,
Same Property FFO increase for this portfolio would have been 2.7%.

The following table sets forth information regarding the
Partnership's in-service portfolio of rental properties as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995 (square feet in thousands):

Management expects occupancy of the in-service property portfolio to
remain stable because (i) only 10.7% and 12.3% of the Partnership's
occupied square footage is subject to leases expiring in 1997 and
1998, respectively, and (ii) the Partnership's renewal percentage
averaged 80%, 65% and 73% in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

This stable occupancy, along with increasing rental rates in each of
the Partnership's markets, will allow the in-service portfolio to
continue to provide a comparable or increasing level of earnings from
rental operations. The Partnership also expects to realize growth in
earnings from rental operations through (i) the development and
acquisition of additional rental properties in its primary markets;
(ii) the expansion into other attractive Midwestern markets; and
(iii) the completion of the 3.8 million square feet of properties
under development at December 31, 1996 over the next five quarters.

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rental Operations
-----------------
The Partnership increased its in-service portfolio of rental
properties from 201 properties comprising 20.1 million square feet at
December 31, 1995 to 249 properties comprising 27.4 million square
feet at December 31, 1996 through the acquisition of 34 properties
totaling 3.4 million square feet and the placement in service of 16
properties and four building expansions totaling 4.1 million square
feet developed by the Partnership.

The Partnership also disposed of two properties totaling 182,000
square feet. These 48 net additional rental properties primarily
account for the $48.5 million increase in revenues from Rental
Operations from 1995 to 1996. The increase from 1995 to 1996 in
rental expenses, real estate taxes and depreciation and amortization
expense is also a result of the additional 48 in-service rental
properties.

Interest expense increased by approximately $9.8 million. This
increase was primarily because of interest expense on the $150.0
million of unsecured notes which the Partnership issued in September
1995. These notes bear interest at an effective rate of 7.46% and
were outstanding a full year in 1996 as compared to approximately
three months in 1995. The Partnership also issued $90.0 million of
unsecured debt under its medium-term note program in 1996 which bears
interest at a weighted average rate of 7.20%. The proceeds from these
debt issuances were used to fund development and acquisition of
additional rental properties during 1995 and 1996.

As a result of the above mentioned items, earnings from rental
operations increased $17.0 million from $37.2 million for the year
ended December 31, 1995 to $54.2 million for the year ended December
31, 1996.

Service Operations
------------------
Service Operations revenues increased from $17.8 million to $19.9
million for the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 1995 primarily as a result of increases in
construction management fee revenue because of an increase in
construction volume. Service Operations
-17-

expenses increased from $11.2 million to $13.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31,
1995 primarily as a result of an increase in operating expenses
resulting from the overall growth of the Partnership and the
additional regional offices opened in 1995 and 1996.

As a result of the above-mentioned items, earnings from Service
Operations decreased from $6.6 million to $6.4 million for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

General and Administrative Expense
---------------------------------
General and administrative expense increased from $3.2 million for
the year ended December 31, 1995 to $4.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996 primarily as a result of increased state and local
taxes due to the growth in revenues and net income of the
Partnership. Property advertising expense as well as other
administrative expenses also increased as a result of the expanding
size of the Partnership.

Other Income (Expense)
---------------------
Interest income decreased from $1.7 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995 to $1.2 million for the year ended December 31,
1996 as a result of the temporary short-term investment of a greater
amount of excess proceeds from the 1995 debt and equity offerings
compared to excess proceeds invested from the 1996 debt and equity
offerings.

During the year ended December 31, 1996, the Partnership sold a
251,000 square foot corporate headquarters facility to John Alden
Life Insurance Company in Miami, Florida pursuant to a purchase
option contained in John Alden's original agreement to lease the
building. The project was sold for approximately $32.9 million and
the Partnership recognized a gain of approximately $1.6 million on
the sale. The Partnership also realized gains totaling $2.9 million
in 1996 related to the sale of a retail center and several parcels of
land.

Net Income Available for Common Units
------------------------------------
Net income available for common units for the year ended December 31,
1996 was $58.7 million compared to net income available for common
units of $41.6 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. This
increase results primarily from the changes in the operating results
of rental and service operations explained above.

COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rental Operations
-----------------
The Partnership increased its in-service portfolio of rental
properties from 127 properties comprising 12.9 million square feet at
December 31, 1994 to 201 properties comprising 20.1 million square
feet at December 31, 1995 through the acquisition of 60 properties
totaling 4.6 million square feet and the placement in service of 17
properties and two building expansions totaling 3.2 million square
feet developed by the Partnership. The Partnership also disposed of
three properties totaling 570,000 square feet. These 74 net
additional rental properties primarily account for the $24.3 million
increase in revenues from Rental Operations from 1994 to 1995.

The increase from 1994 to 1995 in rental expenses, real estate taxes
and depreciation and amortization expense is also a result of the
additional 74 in-service rental properties.
-18-

Interest expense increased by approximately $2.6 million. This
increase was primarily because of interest expense on the $150.0
million of unsecured notes which the Partnership issued in September
1995. These notes bear interest at an effective rate of 7.46%. The
proceeds from these notes were used to (i) retire the outstanding
balance of $35.0 million on the Partnership's unsecured line of
credit; (ii) retire $39.5 million of mortgage debt which had a
weighted average interest rate of 6.08% and was scheduled to reset at
a market interest rate in the fourth quarter of 1995; and (iii) fund
development and acquisition of additional rental properties during
the fourth quarter of 1995.

As a result of the above mentioned items, earnings from rental
operations increased $10.3 million from $26.9 million for the year
ended December 31, 1994 to $37.2 million for the year ended December
31, 1995.

Service Operations
-----------------
Earnings from Service Operations decreased by approximately $500,000
in 1995 as compared to 1994. This decrease results primarily from a
decrease in construction fees even though total construction volume
remained consistent. This decrease in fees resulted from certain
contracts with above-market fees in 1994 which were not obtained in
1995. Property management, maintenance and leasing fees remained
consistent from 1994 to 1995. Payroll expense decreased from 1994 to
1995 as a result of the allocation of a greater portion of these
costs to the Partnership's Rental Operations segment. Other operating
expenses did not change materially.

Other Income (Expense)
---------------------
Interest income increased from $1.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1994 to $1.7 million for the year ended December 31,
1995 as a result of the temporary short-term investment of excess
proceeds from the 1995 debt and equity offerings.

As part of its October 1993 acquisition of Duke Associates, the
Partnership acquired an option to purchase an interest in an entity
which provided telecommunication services to tenants in properties
owned and managed by the Partnership. At the time the option was
acquired, the option was not considered to have value because of
recurring net operating losses by such entity. Subsequent to the
acquisition of the option, the entity made changes in its operations,
principally entering into new contracts for the purchase of
telecommunication services and the provision of billing services,
which significantly improved its operating results. As a result of
these improvements in operating results, the entity entered into an
agreement to sell its telecommunications business to an unaffiliated
third party at an amount significantly in excess of the Partnership's
option price. The net proceeds from the sale were then loaned to a
subsidiary of the Partnership with a mortgage on certain property.
The Partnership subsequently exercised its option to acquire the
interest in this entity and recognized a gain of approximately $2.0
million based on the difference between its option price and the net
proceeds received from the sale to the unaffiliated third-party. Such
gain is included in earnings from property sales in 1994.

Net Income Available for Common Units
-------------------------------------
Net income available for common units for the year ended December 31,
1995 was $41.6 million compared to net income available for common
units of $33.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. This
increase results primarily from the changes in the operating results
of rental and service operations explained above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities totaling $95.5 million,
$78.6 million and $51.9 million for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, represents the primary source of
liquidity to fund distributions to unitholders and minority interests
and to fund recurring costs associated with the renovation and re-
letting of the Partnership's properties. The primary reason for the
increases in net cash provided by operating activities is, as
discussed above under "Results of Operations," the increase in net
income each year resulting from the expansion of the in-service
portfolio through development and acquisitions of additional rental
properties.

Net cash used by investing activities totaling $277.0 million, $289.6
million and $116.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively, represents the investment of funds by
the Partnership to expand its portfolio of rental properties through
the development and acquisition of additional rental properties. In
1996, $328.4 million was invested in the development and acquisition
of additional rental properties and land held for development and
$9.9 million was used for recurring building and tenant improvements
and leasing costs. Included in the $328.4 million of development and
acquisition of rental properties and land held for development for
the year ended December 31, 1996 is $44.5 million related to the
acquisition of eight suburban office buildings totaling 782,000 gross
square feet in Cleveland, Ohio. The purchase price of these eight
buildings was approximately $76.0 million which included the
assumption of $23.1 million of mortgage debt and the issuance of $8.4
million of Common Units. Also in 1996, the Partnership sold two
properties and several parcels of land and received $50.8 million of
net sales proceeds. These proceeds were used to fund a portion of the
1996 development and acquisition activity. In 1995, $250.3 million
was invested in the development and acquisition of additional rental
properties and land held for development and $8.6 million was used
for recurring building and tenant improvements and leasing costs. In
1994, $106.9 million was invested in the development and acquisition
of additional rental properties and land held for development and
$5.9 million was used for recurring building and tenant improvements
and leasing costs.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaling $181.2 million,
$176.2 million and $94.7 million for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, is comprised of debt and equity
issuances, net of distributions to unitholders and minority interests
and repayments of outstanding indebtedness. In March 1996, the
Partnership received $125.3 million of net proceeds from the General
Partner's common stock offering which was used to pay down amounts
outstanding on the unsecured line of credit. During 1996, the
Partnership also received $5.5 million of net proceeds from the
issuance of common stock under the General Partner's Direct Stock
Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Partnership used these
net proceeds to fund the development and acquisition of additional
rental properties. In August 1996, the Partnership received $72.3
million of net proceeds from the General Partner's preferred stock
offering. In July 1996, the Partnership issued $40.0 million of
unsecured debt under its medium-term note program. These notes mature
in July 2000 and bear interest at 7.28%. In November 1996, the
Partnership issued $50.0 million of unsecured debt under its medium-
term note program. These notes mature in November 2004 and bear
interest at 7.14%. The Partnership used the net proceeds from the
preferred offering and the two medium-term note offerings to pay off
approximately $82.5 million of existing secured debt which was
scheduled to mature in the fourth quarter of 1996 or early 1997 and
the remainder to fund the development and acquisition of additional
rental properties. In 1995, the Partnership received $96.3 million of
net proceeds from the General Partner's common stock offering and
used the proceeds to fund development and acquisition of additional
rental properties. In 1995, the Partnership also received $150.0
million from an unsecured debt offering and used the proceeds to
retire outstanding mortgage indebtedness and to fund acquisition and
development of additional rental properties. In 1994, the Partnership
received $92.1 million of net proceeds from the General Partner's
common stock offering and
-20-

$60.0 million from a seven-year mortgage loan. Of the $152.1 million
of these proceeds, the Partnership used $16.1 million to retire
outstanding mortgage indebtedness, and the remainder primarily to
fund development and acquisition of additional rental properties.

The recurring capital needs of the Partnership are funded primarily
through the undistributed net cash provided by operating activities.
An analysis of the Partnership's recurring capital expenditures is as
follows (in thousands):


1996 1995 1994
------ ------- ------

===== ===== =====


The Partnership has a $150.0 million unsecured line of credit
available to fund the development and acquisition of additional
rental properties and to provide working capital as needed. This line
of credit matures in April 1998 and bears interest at the 30-day
London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.25%. Borrowings of
$24.0 million under this line of credit as of December 31, 1996 bear
interest at an effective rate of 6.9375%. The Partnership also has a
demand $10.0 million secured line of credit which is available to
provide working capital. This facility bears interest payable monthly
at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus .75%. Borrowings of $10.0 million are
outstanding on this line of credit at December 31, 1996 and bear
interest at an effective rate of 6.23%. The current 30-day LIBOR rate
as of March 3, 1997 is 5.4375%.

The General Partner and the Partnership currently have on file two
Form S-3 Registration Statements with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Shelf Registrations") which have remaining
availability as of December 31, 1996 of $470.0 million to issue
additional common stock, preferred stock or unsecured debt
securities. The General Partner and the Partnership intend to issue
additional securities under such Shelf Registrations to fund the
development and acquisition of additional rental properties.

The total debt outstanding at December 31, 1996 consists of notes
totaling $525.8 million with a weighted average interest rate of
7.55% maturing at various dates through 2017. The Partnership has
$264.0 million of unsecured debt and $261.8 million of secured debt
outstanding at December 31, 1996. Scheduled principal amortization of
such debt totaled $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1996.

The Partnership intends to pay regular quarterly distributions from
net cash provided by operating activities. A quarterly distribution
of $.51 per common unit was declared on January 30, 1997 which
represents an annualized distribution of $2.04 per common unit.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Management believes that Funds From Operations ("FFO"), which is
defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
as net income or loss excluding gains or losses from debt
restructuring and sales of property plus depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for minority interest,
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures (adjustments for
minority interest, unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are
calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis), is the industry
standard for reporting the operations of real estate investment
trusts.

The following reflects the calculation of the Partnership's FFO for
the years ended December 31 (in thousands):


1996 1995 1994
------- -------- --------

Net income available for
common units $ 58,713 $ 41,600 $ 32,968
Add back:
Depreciation and
amortization 31,363 23,118 16,785
Share of joint venture
depreciation and amortization 1,890 411 352
Earnings from property sales (4,532) (283) (2,198)
------- ------- --------
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS $ 87,434 $ 64,846 $ 47,907
======= ======= =======
CASH FLOW PROVIDED BY (USED BY):
Operating activities $ 95,470 $ 78,637 $ 51,856
Investing activities (277,009) (289,569) (116,227)
Financing activities 181,203 176,187 94,733


The increase in FFO for the three-year period results primarily from
the increased in-service rental property portfolio as discussed above
under "Results of Operations."

In March 1995, NAREIT issued a clarification of its definition of FFO
effective for years beginning after December 31, 1995. The
clarification provides that amortization of deferred financing costs
and depreciation of non-rental real estate assets are no longer to be
added back to net income in arriving at FFO. The Partnership adopted
these changes effective January 1, 1996, and the calculations of FFO
for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 have been revised
accordingly.

While management believes that FFO is the most relevant and widely
used measure of the Partnership's operating performance, such amount
does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally
accepted accounting principles, should not be considered as an
alternative to net income as an indicator of the Partnership's
operating performance, and is not indicative of cash available to
fund all cash flow needs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Partners of
Duke Realty Limited Partnership:

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Duke Realty
Limited Partnership and Subsidiaries as listed in the accompanying
index. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial
statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule as
listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial
statements and the financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements
and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Duke Realty Limited Partnership and Subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic
consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly,
in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
