EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report (the "Report") combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2017 of both Duke Realty Corporation and Duke Realty Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Duke Realty Corporation" or the "General Partner" mean Duke Realty Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to the "Partnership" mean Duke Realty Limited Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms the "Company," "we," "us" and "our" refer to the General Partner and the Partnership, collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the General Partner and/or the Partnership.

Duke Realty Corporation is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") and is the sole general partner of the Partnership, owning 99.1% of the common partnership interests of the Partnership ("General Partner Units") as of March 31, 2017. The remaining 0.9% of the common partnership interests ("Limited Partner Units" and, together with the General Partner Units, the "Common Units") are owned by Limited Partners. As the sole general partner of the Partnership, the General Partner has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Partnership.

The General Partner and the Partnership are operated as one enterprise. The management of the General Partner consists of the same members as the management of the Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Partnership, the General Partner consolidates the Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the General Partner does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the General Partner and the Partnership are substantially the same.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the General Partner and the Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:


•	enhances investors' understanding of the General Partner and the Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;


•	eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation of information since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the General Partner and the Partnership; and


•	creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the General Partner and the Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The General Partner's only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests in the Partnership. As a result, the General Partner does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Partnership and issuing public equity from time to time. The General Partner does not issue any indebtedness, but does guarantee some of the unsecured debt of the Partnership. The Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the business, directly or indirectly, and holds the ownership interests related to certain of the Company's investments. The Partnership conducts the operations of the business and has no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the General Partner, which are contributed to the Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units or Preferred Units, the Partnership generates the capital required by the business through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of Limited Partner Units to third parties.

Noncontrolling interests, shareholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the General Partner and those of the Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Partnership's financial statements include the interests in consolidated investees not wholly owned by the Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the General Partner's financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the Partnership level, as well as the common limited partnership interests in the Partnership, which are accounted for as partners' capital by the Partnership.

In order to highlight the differences between the General Partner and the Partnership, there are separate sections in this report, as applicable, that separately discuss the General Partner and the Partnership, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the General Partner and the Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the collective Company.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. General Basis of Presentation

The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the General Partner and the Partnership. The 2016 year-end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Report was derived from the audited financial statements in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K of the General Partner and the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2016 (the "2016 Annual Report"), but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2016 Annual Report.

The General Partner was formed in 1985, and we believe that it qualifies as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Partnership was formed on October 4, 1993, when the General Partner contributed all of its properties and related assets and liabilities, together with the net proceeds from an offering of additional shares of its common stock, to the Partnership. Simultaneously, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Duke Associates, a full-service commercial real estate firm operating in the Midwest whose operations began in 1972.

The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership, owning approximately 99.1% of the Common Units at March 31, 2017. The remaining 0.9% of the Common Units are owned by Limited Partners. As the sole general partner of the Partnership, the General Partner has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Partnership. The General Partner and the Partnership are operated as one enterprise. The management of the General Partner consists of the same members as the management of the Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Partnership, the General Partner consolidates the Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the General Partner does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the General Partner and the Partnership are substantially the same.

Limited Partners have the right to redeem their Limited Partner Units, subject to certain restrictions. Pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended (the "Partnership Agreement"), the General Partner is obligated to redeem the Limited Partner Units in shares of its common stock, unless it determines in its reasonable discretion that the issuance of shares of its common stock could cause it to fail to qualify as a REIT. Each Limited Partner Unit shall be redeemed for one share of the General Partner's common stock, or, in the event that the issuance of shares could cause the General Partner to fail to qualify as a REIT, cash equal to the fair market value of one share of the General Partner's common stock at the time of redemption, in each case, subject to certain adjustments described in the Partnership Agreement. The Limited Partner Units are not required, per the terms of the Partnership Agreement, to be redeemed in registered shares of the General Partner.

As of March 31, 2017, we owned and operated a portfolio primarily consisting of industrial and medical office properties and provided real estate services to third-party owners. Substantially all of our Rental Operations (see Note 9) are conducted through the Partnership. We conduct our Service Operations (see Note 9) through Duke Realty Services, LLC, Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership and Duke Construction Limited Partnership ("DCLP"), which are consolidated entities that are 100% owned by a combination of the General Partner and the Partnership. DCLP is owned through a taxable REIT subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Business Combinations

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017-01 provides revised guidance to determine when an acquisition meets the definition of a business or should be accounted for as an asset acquisition, likely resulting in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions as opposed to business combinations. Transaction costs are capitalized for asset acquisitions while they are expensed as incurred for business combinations. ASU 2017-01 requires that when substantially all of the fair value of an acquisition is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets it does not meet the definition of a business. ASU 2017-01 also revises the definition of a business to include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. ASU 2017-01 will be effective, on a prospective basis, for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We adopted ASU 2017-01 prospectively as of January 1, 2017 as permitted under the standard, which has not had a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

Restricted Cash

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash ("ASU 2016-18"). ASU 2016-18 requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 will be effective for us retrospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe ASU 2016-18 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows and how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 will be effective for us retrospectively for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. We do not believe ASU 2016-15 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Stock Compensation

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"), which simplifies certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including income tax consequences, forfeitures and the classification of amounts paid to taxing authorities when shares are withheld to cover employee tax withholdings for certain stock based compensation plans in the statements of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 was effective for us as of January 1, 2017 and has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). ASU 2016-02 supersedes existing leasing standards.

ASU 2016-02 requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 also requires that lessors expense certain initial direct costs, which are capitalizable under existing leasing standards, as incurred.

ASU 2016-02 also specifies that payments for certain lease-related services, which are often included in lease agreements, represent "non-lease" components that will become subject to the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue

from Contracts with Customers when ASU 2016-02 becomes effective. We are currently evaluating the materiality, and presentation and disclosure impacts, of this accounting change.

ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. ASU 2016-02 will impact the accounting and disclosure requirements for the ground leases, and other operating leases, where we are the lessee.

ASU 2016-02 will be effective for us under a modified retrospective approach for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. A set of practical expedients for implementation, which must be elected as a package and for all leases, may also be elected. These practical expedients include relief from re-assessing lease classification at the adoption date for expired or existing leases, although a right-of-use asset and lease liability would still be recorded for such leases. We are currently assessing the method of adoption and the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements but have tentatively concluded that we will apply the practical expedients.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing GAAP revenue recognition guidance as well as impact the existing GAAP guidance governing the sale of non-financial assets. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it satisfies performance obligations, by transferring promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. In doing so, companies will need to exercise more judgment and make more estimates than under existing GAAP guidance.

ASU 2014-09 also created guidance governing the sale of non-financial assets with customers and non-customers with the only difference in the treatment of these transactions being presentation in the statement of operations (revenue and expense is reported when the sale is to a customer and net gain or loss is reported when the sale is to a non-customer). Based on the nature of our business, we believe that our property sales represent transactions with non-customers.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income: Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 provides guidance on how entities recognize sales, including partial sales, of nonfinancial assets (and in-substance nonfinancial assets) to noncustomers. ASU 2017-05 requires the seller to recognize a full gain or loss in a partial sale of nonfinancial assets, to the extent control is not retained. Any noncontrolling interest retained by the seller would, accordingly, be measured at fair value.

Both ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2017-05 will be effective for public entities for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted in periods ending after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2017-05 allow for either full or modified retrospective ("cumulative effect") adoption. Both standards must be adopted concurrently. We have tentatively concluded that we will adopt both ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2017-05 using the cumulative effect method.

We have evaluated each of our revenue streams under ASU 2014-09 and determined that our revenues that will be impacted by this standard primarily include construction and development fees charged to third parties, fees for services performed for unconsolidated joint ventures and sales of real estate. We expect that the amount and timing of revenue recognition from these revenue streams referenced above will be generally consistent with our current measurement and pattern of recognition. In addition, sales of real estate and the pattern of recognition is not expected to change significantly. We have primarily disposed of property and land in all cash transactions with no

contingencies and no future involvement in the operations, and therefore, do not expect ASU 2017-05 to significantly impact the recognition of property and land sales.

3. Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2016, including the change in presentation of tax payments on stock-based compensation awards pursuant to ASU 2016-09, have been reclassified to conform to the 2017 consolidated financial statement presentation.

4. Variable Interest Entities

Partnership

Due to the fact that the Limited Partners do not have kick out rights, or substantive participating rights, the Partnership is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Because the General Partner holds majority ownership and exercises control over every aspect of the Partnership's operations, the General Partner has been determined as the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidates the Partnership.

The assets and liabilities of the General Partner and the Partnership are substantially the same, as the General Partner does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Partnership. All of the Company's debt is also an obligation of the Partnership.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We have equity interests in unconsolidated joint ventures that primarily own and operate rental properties or hold land for development. We consolidate those joint ventures that are considered to be VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary. We analyze our investments in joint ventures to determine if the joint venture is considered a VIE and would require consolidation. We (i) evaluate the sufficiency of the total equity investment at risk, (ii) review the voting rights and decision-making authority of the equity investment holders as a group and whether there are limited partners (or similar owning entities) that lack substantive participating or kick out rights and (iii) establish whether or not activities within the venture are on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights in making this VIE determination.

To the extent that we own interests in a VIE and we (i) are the sole entity that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE and (ii) have the obligation or rights to absorb the VIE's losses or receive its benefits, then we would be determined to be the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the VIE. To the extent we own interests in a VIE, then at each reporting period, we re-assess our conclusions as to which, if any, party within the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary. Consolidated joint ventures that are VIEs are not significant in any period presented in these consolidated financial statements.

To the extent that our joint ventures do not qualify as VIEs, they are consolidated if we control them through majority ownership interests or if we are the managing entity (general partner or managing member) and our partner does not have substantive participating rights. Control is further demonstrated by our ability to unilaterally make significant operating decisions, refinance debt and sell the assets of the joint venture without the consent of the non-managing entity and the inability of the non-managing entity to remove us from our role as the managing entity. Consolidated joint ventures that are not VIEs are not significant in any period presented in these consolidated financial statements.

There were no unconsolidated joint ventures, in which we have any recognized assets or liabilities or have retained any economic exposure to loss at March 31, 2017 that met the criteria to be considered VIEs. Our maximum loss exposure for guarantees of unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness, none of which relate to VIEs, totaled $63.1 million at March 31, 2017.

5. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions and dispositions for the periods presented were completed in accordance with our strategy to reposition our investment concentration among the product types and markets in which we operate and to increase our overall investments in quality industrial projects. With the exception of certain properties that have been sold or classified as held for sale, the results of operations for all acquired properties have been included in continuing operations within our consolidated financial statements since their respective dates of acquisition. Transaction costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized and transaction costs related to business combinations and dispositions are expensed.

Acquisitions

We acquired six properties during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We determined that the six properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2017 did not meet the revised definition of a business as the result of early-adopting ASU 2017-01 and, accordingly, we treated them as asset acquisitions as opposed to business combinations.

The following table summarizes amounts recognized for each major class of assets (in thousands) for these acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2017:



Real estate assets	$	108,924
Lease related intangible assets	6,497
Fair value of acquired net assets	$	115,421

The leases in the acquired properties had a weighted average remaining life at acquisition of approximately 5.2 years.

Fair Value Measurements

We determine the fair value of the individual components of real estate asset acquisitions primarily through calculating the "as-if vacant" value of a building, using an income approach, which relies significantly upon internally determined assumptions. We have determined that these estimates primarily rely upon level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. The most significant assumptions used in calculating the "as-if vacant" value for acquisition activity during the three months ended March 31, 2017 are as follows:



	Low	High
Discount rate	5.81%	6.82%
Exit capitalization rate	4.31%	5.32%
Lease-up period (months)	9	12
Net rental rate per square foot - Industrial	$3.50	$5.70

Capitalized acquisition costs were insignificant and the fair value of the six properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2017 was substantially the same as the cost of acquisition.

Dispositions

Dispositions of buildings (see Note 10 for the number of buildings sold as well as for their classification between continuing and discontinued operations) and undeveloped land generated net cash proceeds of $103.1 million and $57.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

6. Indebtedness

All debt is held directly or indirectly by the Partnership. The General Partner does not have any indebtedness, but does guarantee some of the unsecured debt of the Partnership. The following table summarizes the book value and changes in the fair value of our debt (in thousands):



	Book Value at 12/31/2016		Book Value at 3/31/2017		Fair Value at 12/31/2016		Issuances and Assumptions		Payments/Payoffs			Adjustments to Fair Value			Fair Value at 3/31/2017
Fixed rate secured debt	$	381,894	$	364,306	$	415,231	$	—	$	(17,539	)	$	(4,807	)	$	392,885
Variable rate secured debt	2,800		2,800		2,800		—		—			—			2,800
Unsecured debt	2,498,835		2,498,220		2,568,034		—		(616		)	(790		)	2,566,628
Unsecured line of credit	48,000		237,000		48,000		189,000		—			—			237,000
Total	$	2,931,529	$	3,102,326	$	3,034,065	$	189,000	$	(18,155	)	$	(5,597	)	$	3,199,313
Less: Deferred financing costs	23,052		22,064
Total indebtedness as reported on the consolidated balance sheets	$	2,908,477	$	3,080,262

Secured Debt

Because our fixed rate secured debt is not actively traded in any marketplace, we utilized a discounted cash flow methodology to determine its fair value. Accordingly, we calculated fair value by applying an estimate of the current market rate to discount the debt's remaining contractual cash flows. Our estimate of a current market rate, which is the most significant input in the discounted cash flow calculation, is intended to replicate debt of similar maturity and loan-to-value relationship. The estimated rates ranged from 3.00% to 3.90%, depending on the attributes of the specific loans. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated; therefore, we have concluded that our determination of fair value for our fixed rate secured debt was primarily based upon level 3 inputs.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we repaid two loans, totaling $15.9 million, which had a weighted average stated interest rate of 5.72%.

Unsecured Debt

At March 31, 2017, with the exception of the $250.0 million variable rate term note described below, all of our unsecured debt bore interest at fixed rates and primarily consisted of unsecured notes that are publicly traded. We utilized broker estimates in estimating the fair value of our fixed rate unsecured debt. Our unsecured notes are thinly traded and, in certain cases, the broker estimates were not based upon comparable transactions. The broker estimates took into account any recent trades within the same series of our fixed rate unsecured debt, comparisons to recent trades of other series of our fixed rate unsecured debt, trades of fixed rate unsecured debt from companies with profiles similar to ours, as well as overall economic conditions. We reviewed these broker estimates for reasonableness and accuracy, considering whether the estimates were based upon market participant assumptions within the principal and most advantageous market and whether any other observable inputs would be more accurate indicators of fair value than the broker estimates. We concluded that the broker estimates were representative of fair value. We have determined that our estimation of the fair value of our fixed rate unsecured debt was primarily based upon level 3 inputs. The estimated trading values of our fixed rate unsecured debt, depending on the maturity and coupon rates, ranged from 96.00% to 127.00% of face value.

The indentures (and related supplemental indentures) governing our outstanding series of unsecured notes also require us to comply with financial ratios and other covenants regarding our operations. We were in compliance with all such financial covenants at March 31, 2017.

We utilize a discounted cash flow methodology in order to estimate the fair value of our $250.0 million variable rate term loan. Our estimate of the current market rate for our variable rate term loan was 1.99% and was based primarily upon level 3 inputs. To the extent that credit spreads have changed since the origination of this term loan, the net present value of the difference between future contractual interest payments and future interest payments based on our estimate of a current market rate would represent the difference between the book value and the fair value. Our estimate of a current market rate is based upon the rate, considering current market conditions and our specific credit profile, at which we estimate we could obtain similar borrowings. As our credit spreads have not changed appreciably, we believe that the contractual interest rate and the current market rate on the term loan are the same.

Unsecured Line of Credit

Our unsecured line of credit at March 31, 2017 is described as follows (in thousands):



Description	Borrowing Capacity		Maturity Date	Outstanding Balance at March 31, 2017
Unsecured Line of Credit - Partnership	$	1,200,000	January 2019	$	237,000

The Partnership's unsecured line of credit has an interest rate on borrowings of LIBOR plus 0.93% (equal to 1.85% for outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2017) and a maturity date of January 2019, which may be extended by a year at our option. Subject to certain conditions, the terms also include an option to increase the facility by up to an additional $400.0 million, for a total of up to $1.60 billion. This line of credit provides us with an option to obtain borrowings from financial institutions that participate in the line at rates that may be lower than the stated interest rate, subject to certain restrictions.

This line of credit contains financial covenants that require us to meet certain financial ratios and defined levels of performance, including those related to fixed charge coverage, unsecured interest expense coverage and debt-to-asset value (with asset value being defined in the Partnership's unsecured line of credit agreement). At March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under this line of credit.

To the extent that there are outstanding borrowings, we utilize a discounted cash flow methodology in order to estimate the fair value of our unsecured line of credit. To the extent that credit spreads have changed since the origination of the line of credit, the net present value of the difference between future contractual interest payments and future interest payments based on our estimate of a current market rate would represent the difference between the book value and the fair value. Our estimate of a current market rate is based upon the rate, considering current market conditions and our specific credit profile, at which we estimate we could obtain similar borrowings. As our credit spreads have not changed appreciably, we believe that the contractual interest rate and the current market rate on the line of credit are the same. To the extent there are outstanding borrowings, this current market rate is internally estimated and therefore would be primarily based upon a level 3 input.

7. Related Party Transactions

We provide property management, asset management, leasing, construction and other tenant-related services to unconsolidated companies in which we have equity interests. We recorded the corresponding fees based on contractual terms that approximate market rates for these types of services and have eliminated our ownership percentage of these fees in the consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes the fees earned from these companies, prior to the elimination of our ownership percentage (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2017		2016
Management fees	$	811	$	1,260
Leasing fees	434		378
Construction and development fees	624		3,120

8. Net Income Per Common Share or Common Unit

Basic net income per common share or Common Unit is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders or common unitholders, less dividends or distributions on share-based awards expected to vest (referred to as "participating securities" and primarily composed of unvested restricted stock units), by the weighted average number of common shares or Common Units outstanding for the period.

Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the sum of net income attributable to common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in earnings allocable to Limited Partner Units (to the extent the Limited Partner Units are dilutive), less dividends or distributions on participating securities that are anti-dilutive, by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, to the extent they are dilutive, weighted average number of Limited Partner Units outstanding and any potential dilutive securities for the period. Diluted net income per Common Unit is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common unitholders, less dividends or distributions on participating securities that are anti-dilutive, by the sum of the weighted average number of Common Units outstanding and any potential dilutive securities for the period. The following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted net income per common share or Common Unit (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,

9. Segment Reporting

Reportable Segments

We had three reportable operating segments at March 31, 2017, the first two of which consist of the ownership and rental of (i) industrial and (ii) medical office real estate investments. Properties not included in our reportable segments, which do not by themselves meet the quantitative thresholds for separate presentation as a reportable segment, are generally referred to as non-reportable Rental Operations. Our non-reportable Rental Operations primarily include our office properties. The operations of our industrial and medical office properties, as well as our non-reportable Rental Operations, are collectively referred to as "Rental Operations." Our third reportable segment consists of various real estate services such as property management, asset management, maintenance, leasing, development, general contracting and construction management to third-party property owners and joint ventures, and is collectively referred to as "Service Operations." Our reportable segments offer different products or services and are managed separately because each segment requires different operating strategies and management expertise.

Revenues by Reportable Segment

The following table shows the revenues for each of the reportable segments, as well as a reconciliation to consolidated revenues (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017		2016
Revenues
Rental Operations:
Industrial	$	156,882	$	142,980
Medical Office	47,522		42,225
Non-reportable Rental Operations	13,133		14,896
Service Operations	9,399		23,151
Total segment revenues	226,936		223,252
Other revenue	378		1,702
Consolidated revenue from continuing operations	227,314		224,954
Discontinued operations	—		229
Consolidated revenue	$	227,314	$	225,183

Supplemental Performance Measure

Property-level net operating income on a cash basis ("PNOI") is the non-GAAP supplemental performance measure that we use to evaluate the performance of, and to allocate resources among, the real estate investments in the reportable and operating segments that comprise our Rental Operations. PNOI for our Rental Operations segments is comprised of rental revenues from continuing operations less rental expenses and real estate taxes from continuing operations, along with certain other adjusting items (collectively referred to as "Rental Operations revenues and expenses excluded from PNOI," as shown in the following table). Additionally, we do not allocate interest expense, depreciation expense and certain other non-property specific revenues and expenses (collectively referred to as "Non-Segment Items," as shown in the following table) to our individual operating segments.

We evaluate the performance of our Service Operations reportable segment using net income or loss, as allocated to that segment ("Earnings from Service Operations").

The following table shows a reconciliation of our segment-level measures of profitability to consolidated income from continuing operations before income taxes (in thousands and excluding discontinued operations):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017			2016
PNOI
Industrial	$	115,572		$	100,983
Medical Office	28,851			25,519
Non-reportable Rental Operations	1,192			1,598
PNOI, excluding all sold/held-for-sale properties	145,615			128,100
PNOI from sold/held-for-sale properties included in continuing operations	2,789			12,738
PNOI, continuing operations	$	148,404		$	140,838

Earnings from Service Operations	1,775			2,231

Rental Operations revenues and expenses excluded from PNOI:

Interest and other income, net	533			2,523
General and administrative expenses	(19,232		)	(18,098		)
Gain on land sales	1,505			130
Other operating expenses	(738		)	(1,237		)
Gain on extinguishment of debt	25			—
Acquisition-related activity	—			(3		)
Other non-segment revenues and expenses, net	(583		)	(402		)
Income from continuing operations before income taxes	$	72,913		$	43,948

The most comparable GAAP measure to PNOI is income from continuing operations before income taxes. PNOI excludes expenses that materially impact our overall results of operations and, therefore, should not be considered as a substitute for income from continuing operations before income taxes or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, PNOI may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Business Overview

The General Partner and Partnership collectively specialize in the ownership, management and development of industrial and medical office real estate.

The General Partner is a self-administered and self-managed REIT that began operations in 1986 and is the sole general partner of the Partnership. The Partnership is a limited partnership formed in 1993, at which time all of the properties and related assets and liabilities of the General Partner, as well as proceeds from a secondary offering of the General Partner's common shares, were contributed to the Partnership. Simultaneously, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Duke Associates, a full-service commercial real estate firm operating in the Midwest whose operations began in 1972. We operate the General Partner and the Partnership as one enterprise, and therefore, our discussion and analysis refers to the General Partner and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Partnership, collectively. A more complete description of our business, and of management's philosophy and priorities, is included in our 2016 Annual Report.

At March 31, 2017, we:

•

Owned or jointly controlled 568 primarily industrial and medical office properties, of which 538 properties with 131.9 million square feet were in service and 30 properties with 11.0 million square feet were under development. The 538 in-service properties were comprised of 496 consolidated properties with 120.7 million square feet and 42 jointly controlled unconsolidated properties with 11.3 million square feet. The 30 properties under development consisted of 27 consolidated properties with 10.2 million square feet and three jointly controlled unconsolidated properties with 727,000 square feet.


•	Owned directly, or through ownership interests in unconsolidated joint ventures (with acreage not adjusted for our percentage ownership interest), approximately 2,150 acres of land and controlled approximately 1,600 acres through purchase options.

Our overall strategy is to continue to increase our investment in quality industrial properties.

The third reportable segment consists of various real estate services such as property management, asset management, maintenance, leasing, development, general contracting and construction management to third-party property owners and joint ventures, and is collectively referred to as "Service Operations." Our reportable segments offer different products or services and are managed separately because each segment requires different operating strategies and management expertise. Our Service Operations segment also includes our taxable REIT subsidiary, a legal entity through which certain of the segment's aforementioned operations are conducted.

Key Performance Indicators

Our operating results depend primarily upon rental income from our Rental Operations. The following discussion highlights the areas of Rental Operations that we consider critical drivers of future revenues.

Occupancy Analysis

Our ability to maintain high occupancy rates is a principal driver of maintaining and increasing rental revenue. The following table sets forth percent leased and average net effective rent information regarding our in-service portfolio of rental properties, including properties classified within both continuing and discontinued operations, at March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively:



	Total Square Feet (in thousands)		Percent of Total Square Feet				Percent Leased*				Average Annual Net Effective Rent**

Lease Expirations

Our ability to maintain and improve occupancy rates and net effective rents primarily depends upon our continuing ability to re-lease expiring space. The table below reflects our consolidated in-service portfolio lease expiration schedule, excluding the leases in properties designated as held-for-sale, at March 31, 2017 (in thousands, except percentage data and number of leases):

Percent Leased	98.1	%				98.5	%			93.9	%			72.2	%
* Annualized rental revenue represents average annual base rental payments, on a straight-line basis for the term of each lease, from space leased to tenants at the end of the most recent reporting period. Annualized rental revenue excludes additional amounts paid by tenants as reimbursement for operating expenses.

Information on current market rents can be difficult to obtain, is highly subjective, and is often not directly comparable between properties. As a result, we believe the increase or decrease in net effective rent on lease renewals, as previously defined, is the most objective and meaningful relationship between rents on leases expiring in the near-term and current market rents.

Building Acquisitions

Our decision process in determining whether or not to acquire a target property or portfolio of properties involves several factors, including expected rent growth, multiple yield metrics, property locations and expected demographic growth in each location, current occupancy of the target properties, tenant profile and remaining terms of the in-place leases in the target properties. We pursue both brokered and non-brokered acquisitions, and it is difficult to predict which markets and product types may present acquisition opportunities that align with our strategy. Because of the numerous factors considered in our acquisition decisions, we do not establish specific target yields for future acquisitions.

We acquired six buildings during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 17 buildings during the year ended December 31, 2016. The following table summarizes the acquisition price, percent leased at time of acquisition and in-place yields, by product type, for these acquisitions (in thousands, except percentage data):



	Year-to-Date 2017 Acquisitions						Full Year 2016 Acquisitions

Building Dispositions

We regularly work to identify, consider and pursue opportunities to dispose of properties on an opportunistic basis and on a basis that is generally consistent with our strategic plans.

We sold seven wholly owned buildings during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 32 wholly owned buildings during the year ended December 31, 2016. The following table summarizes the sales prices, in-place yields and percent leased, by product type, of these buildings (in thousands, except percentage data):



	Year-to-Date 2017 Dispositions						Full Year 2016 Dispositions
Type	Sales Price		In-Place Yield*		Percent Occupied**		Sales Price		In-Place Yield*		Percent Occupied**
Industrial	$	14,400	6.0	%	100.0	%	$	162,831	6.4	%	96.7	%
Non-reportable Rental Operations	70,986		9.6	%	90.6	%	353,734		8.1	%	88.2	%
Total	$	85,386	9.0	%	94.6	%	$	516,565	7.6	%	92.5	%

* In-place yields of completed dispositions are calculated as annualized net operating income from space leased to tenants at the date of sale on a lease-up basis, including full rent from all executed leases, even if currently in a free rent period, divided by the sales price. Annualized net operating income is comprised of base rental payments, excluding reimbursement of operating expenses, less current annualized operating expenses not recovered through tenant reimbursements.
** Represents percentage of total square feet leased based on executed leases and without regard to whether the leases have commenced, at the date of sale.

Development

At March 31, 2017, we had 11.0 million square feet of property under development with total estimated costs upon completion of $894.8 million compared to 8.7 million square feet with total estimated costs upon completion of $754.6 million at March 31, 2016. The square footage and estimated costs include both consolidated properties and unconsolidated joint venture development activity at 100%.

The following table summarizes our properties under development at March 31, 2017 (in thousands, except percentage data):



Ownership Type	Square Feet	Percent Leased	Total Estimated Project Costs		Total Incurred to Date		Amount Remaining to be Spent
Consolidated properties	10,223	71%	$	855,933	$	446,360	$	409,573

Supplemental Performance Measures

In addition to net income computed in accordance with GAAP, we assess and measure the overall operating results of the General Partner and the Partnership using certain non-GAAP supplemental performance measures, which include (i) Funds From Operations ("FFO"), (ii) PNOI and (iii) Same-Property Net Operating Income - Cash Basis ("SPNOI").

These non-GAAP metrics are commonly used by industry analysts and investors as supplemental operating performance measures of REITs and are viewed by management to be useful indicators of operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Management believes that the use of FFO, PNOI and SPNOI, combined with net income (which remains the primary measure of performance), improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.

The most comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders or common unitholders, while the most comparable GAAP measure to PNOI and SPNOI is income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes.

FFO, PNOI and SPNOI each exclude expenses that materially impact our overall results of operations and, therefore, should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders or

common unitholders, income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, these metrics may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Funds From Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") created FFO as a non-GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents GAAP net income (loss), excluding gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets, plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT.

Management believes that the use of FFO as a performance measure enables investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT's activity and assists them in comparing these operating results between periods or between different companies that use the NAREIT definition of FFO.

The following table shows a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders or common unitholders to the calculation of FFO attributable to common shareholders or common unitholders (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,

Property-Level Net Operating Income - Cash Basis

PNOI is comprised of rental revenues from continuing operations less rental expenses and real estate taxes from continuing operations, along with certain other adjusting items. As a performance metric that consists of only the cash-based revenues and expenses directly related to ongoing real estate rental operations, PNOI is narrower in scope than FFO.

PNOI, as we calculate it, may not be directly comparable to similarly titled, but differently calculated, measures for other REITs. We believe that PNOI is another useful supplemental performance measure, as it is an input in many REIT valuation models and it provides a means by which to evaluate the performance of the properties within our Rental Operations segments.

The major factors influencing PNOI are occupancy levels, acquisitions and sales, development properties that achieve stabilized operations, rental rate increases or decreases, and the recoverability of operating expenses.

Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report shows a calculation of our PNOI for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and provides a reconciliation of PNOI for our Rental Operations segments to income from continuing operations before income taxes.

Same Property Net Operating Income - Cash Basis

We also evaluate the performance of our properties, including our share of properties we jointly control, on a "same property" basis, using a metric referred to as SPNOI. We view SPNOI as a useful supplemental performance measure because it improves comparability between periods by eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of our portfolio.

On an individual property basis, SPNOI is generally computed in a consistent manner as PNOI.

We have defined our same-property portfolio, for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as those properties that were owned and in-service as of January 1, 2016, and held as in-service properties through the end of the reporting periods shown. In addition to excluding properties that were sold or identified as held-for-sale through the end of the reporting periods shown, we also exclude properties where revenues from lease buyouts in excess of $250,000 have been recognized in either the full calendar year 2016 or year-to-date calendar year 2017. A reconciliation of income from continuing operations before income taxes to SPNOI is presented as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,						Percent
	2017			2016			Change
Income from continuing operations before income taxes	$	72,913		$	43,948
Share of SPNOI from unconsolidated joint ventures	4,913			5,269
PNOI excluded from the same property population	(17,762		)	(7,161		)
Earnings from Service Operations	(1,775		)	(2,231		)
Rental Operations revenues and expenses excluded from PNOI	(15,139		)	(15,200		)
Non-Segment Items	89,616			101,583
SPNOI	$	132,766		$	126,208		5.2	%

The composition of the line items titled "Rental Operations revenues and expenses excluded from PNOI" and "Non-Segment Items" from the table above are shown in greater detail in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.

We believe that the factors that impact SPNOI are generally the same as those that impact PNOI. The following table details the number of properties, square feet, average occupancy and cash rental rates for the properties included in SPNOI for the respective periods:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017	2016
Number of properties	471	471
Square feet (in thousands) (1)	113,368	113,368
Average commencement occupancy percentage (2)	97.5%	96.0%
Average rental rate - cash basis (3)	$4.88	$4.81
(1) Includes the total square feet of the consolidated properties that are in the same property population as well as 4.5 million square feet of space for unconsolidated joint ventures, which represents our ratable share of the 9.4 million total square feet of space for buildings owned by unconsolidated joint ventures that are in the same property population.
(2) Commencement occupancy represents the percentage of total square feet where the leases have commenced.
(3) Represents the average annualized contractual rent per square foot for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 for tenants in occupancy in properties in the same property population. Cash rent does not include the tenant's obligation to pay property operating expenses and real estate taxes. If a tenant was within a free rent period at March 31, 2017 or 2016 its rent would equal zero for purposes of this metric.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2016

Rental and Related Revenue

The following table sets forth rental and related revenue from continuing operations by reportable segment (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017		2016
Rental and related revenue:
Industrial	$	156,882	$	142,980
Medical Office	47,522		42,225
Non-reportable Rental Operations and non-segment revenues	13,511		16,598
Total rental and related revenue from continuing operations	$	217,915	$	201,803
Rental and related revenue from discontinued operations	—		229
Total rental and related revenue from continuing and discontinued operations	$	217,915	$	202,032

The following factors contributed to the increase in rental and related revenue from continuing operations:


•	We acquired 23 properties and placed 27 developments in service from January 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017, which provided incremental revenues of $17.3 million in the first quarter of 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016.

•

Rental and related revenue from continuing operations includes lease termination fees, which relate to specific tenants who pay a fee to terminate their lease obligation before the end of the contractual lease term. The overall increase in rental and related revenue from continuing operations included an increase of $9.4 million in termination fees compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.


•	Increased occupancy and rental rates within our same-property portfolio also contributed to the increase to rental and related revenue from continuing operations. Average commencement occupancy in our same-property portfolio increased by 1.5% from the three months ended March 31, 2016.


•	The sale of 39 properties since January 1, 2016, which did not meet the criteria to be classified within discontinued operations, resulted in a decrease of $11.0 million to rental and related revenue from continuing operations in the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, which partially offset the aforementioned increases to rental and related revenues.

Rental Expenses and Real Estate Taxes

The following table sets forth rental expenses and real estate taxes from continuing operations by reportable segment (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017		2016
Rental expenses:
Industrial	$	14,805	$	14,362
Medical Office	8,994		8,395
Non-reportable Rental Operations and non-segment expenses	1,472		6,521
Total rental expenses from continuing operations	$	25,271	$	29,278
Rental expenses from discontinued operations	—		(8		)
Total rental expenses from continuing and discontinued operations	$	25,271	$	29,270
Real estate taxes:
Industrial	$	25,388	$	22,708
Medical Office	6,050		4,960
Non-reportable Rental Operations and non-segment expenses	1,035		1,959
Total real estate tax expense from continuing operations	$	32,473	$	29,627

Rental expenses from continuing operations decreased by $4.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease to rental expenses was primarily the result of sales of office properties, which have higher utility and other operating costs relative to industrial properties, that did not meet the criteria to be classified within discontinued operations.

Real estate tax expense from continuing operations increased by $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. The increase to real estate tax expense was mainly the result of industrial developments placed in service from January 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017 and increases in real estate taxes on our existing base of properties. These increases to real estate tax expense were partially offset by the impact of property sales that did not meet the criteria to be classified within discontinued operations.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense from continuing operations increased from $77.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $81.6 million for the same period in 2017 primarily as the result of the 23 properties acquired and the 27 developments placed in service since January 1, 2016. The impact of acquired properties and developments placed in service was partially offset by property dispositions that did not meet the criteria to be classified within discontinued operations.

Equity in Earnings

Equity in earnings represents our ownership share of net income from investments in unconsolidated companies that generally own and operate rental properties. Equity in earnings decreased from $21.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $4.7 million for the same period in 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded $1.8 million to equity in earnings related to our share of the gain on sale of one joint venture building. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded $14.0 million to equity in earnings for our share of the net gains from the sale of four office properties in one of our joint ventures.

Gain on Sale of Properties - Continuing Operations

The $37.0 million recognized as gain on sale of properties in continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is the result of the sale of seven properties. These properties did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations.

The $15.6 million recognized as gain on sale of properties in continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was the result of the gain from the sale of three properties. These properties did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of two components. The first component includes general corporate expenses, and the second component includes the indirect operating costs not allocated to, or absorbed by, the development or Rental Operations of our wholly-owned properties or our Service Operations. The indirect operating costs that are either allocated to, or absorbed by, the development or Rental Operations of our wholly-owned properties, or our Service Operations, are primarily comprised of employee compensation, including related costs such as benefits and wage-related taxes, but also include other ancillary costs such as travel and information technology support. Total indirect operation costs, prior to any allocation or absorption, and general corporate expenses are collectively referred to as our overall pool of overhead costs.

Those indirect costs not allocated to or absorbed by these operations are charged to general and administrative expenses. We regularly review our total overhead cost structure relative to our leasing, development and construction volume and adjust the level of total overhead, generally through changes in our level of staffing in various functional departments, as necessary in order to control overall general and administrative expense.

General and administrative expenses increased from $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $19.2 million for the same period in 2017. The following table sets forth the factors that led to the increase in general and administrative expenses (in millions):



General and administrative expenses - three-month period ended March 31, 2016	$	18.1
Decrease to overall pool of overhead costs	(1.1		)
Increased absorption of costs by wholly owned leasing and development activities (1)	(0.5		)
Decreased allocation of costs to Service Operations and Rental Operations (2)	2.7
General and administrative expenses - three-month period ended March 31, 2017	$	19.2

(1) We capitalized $5.3 million and $8.3 million of our total overhead costs to leasing and development, respectively, for consolidated properties during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to capitalizing $6.8 million and $6.3 million of such costs, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Combined overhead costs capitalized to leasing and development totaled 33.3% and 31.4% of our overall pool of overhead costs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

(2) The decrease in allocation of costs to Service Operations and Rental Operations resulted from a lower volume of third-party construction projects during the three months ended March 31, 2017 as well as a lower allocation of property management and maintenance expenses to Rental Operations due to significantly decreasing our investment in office properties through 2016 disposition activities.

Interest Expense

Interest expense allocable to continuing operations decreased from $37.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $30.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease to interest expense from continuing operations was primarily due to interest savings from reducing leverage and refinancing higher rate indebtedness during 2016.

We capitalized $4.2 million and $5.7 million of interest costs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

The property-specific components of earnings that are classified as discontinued operations include rental revenues, rental expenses, real estate taxes, allocated interest expense and depreciation expense, as well as the net gain or loss on the disposition of the properties.

We had no buildings classified as discontinued operations for both the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016. The amounts classified in discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were comprised of true-up activity related to 2015 property sales that were classified as discontinued operations. There was no true-up activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements over the next 12 months, including maturities of indebtedness, payments of dividends and distributions and the capital expenditures needed to maintain our current real estate assets, primarily through working capital, net cash provided by operating activities and proceeds received from real estate dispositions. We had a $237.0 million balance outstanding on the Partnership's $1.20 billion unsecured line of credit at March 31, 2017.

In addition to our existing sources of liquidity, we expect to meet long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled mortgage and unsecured debt maturities, property acquisitions, financing of development activities and other capital improvements, through multiple sources of capital including operating cash flow, proceeds from property dispositions and through accessing the public debt and equity markets.

Rental Operations

Cash flows from Rental Operations is our primary source of liquidity and provides a stable source of cash flow to fund operational expenses. We believe that this cash-based revenue stream is substantially aligned with revenue recognition (except for items such as periodic straight-line rental income accruals and amortization of above or below market rents) as cash receipts from the leasing of rental properties are generally received in advance of, or a short time following, the actual revenue recognition.

We are subject to a number of risks related to general economic conditions, including reduced occupancy, tenant defaults and bankruptcies and potential reduction in rental rates upon renewal or re-letting of properties, any of which would result in reduced cash flow from operations.

Unsecured Debt and Equity Securities

We use the Partnership's unsecured line of credit (which is guaranteed by the General Partner) as a temporary source of capital to fund development activities, acquire additional rental properties and provide working capital.

At March 31, 2017, we had on file with the SEC an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities (including guarantees of the Partnership's debt securities by the General Partner). Equity securities are offered and sold by the General Partner, and the net proceeds of such offerings are contributed to the Partnership in exchange for additional General Partner Units or Preferred Units. From time to time, we expect to issue additional securities under this automatic shelf registration statement to fund the repayment of long-term debt upon maturity and for other general corporate purposes.

The General Partner has an ATM equity program that allows it to issue new common shares from time to time, with an aggregate offering price of up to $200.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the General Partner did not issue any common shares pursuant to its ATM equity program. As of March 31, 2017, the ATM equity program still had $108.1 million worth of new common shares available to issue.

The Partnership has issued debt securities pursuant to certain indentures and related supplemental indentures, which also require us to comply with financial ratios and other covenants regarding our operations. We were in compliance with all such covenants, as well as applicable covenants under our unsecured line of credit, at March 31, 2017.

Sale of Real Estate Assets

We regularly work to identify, consider and pursue opportunities to dispose of non-strategic properties on an opportunistic basis and on a basis that is generally consistent with our strategic plans. Our ability to dispose of such properties on favorable terms, or at all, is dependent upon a number of factors including the availability of credit to potential buyers to purchase properties at prices that we consider acceptable. Although we believe that we have demonstrated our ability to generate significant liquidity through the disposition of non-strategic properties, potential future adverse changes to general market and economic conditions could negatively impact our further ability to dispose of such properties.

Sales of land and depreciable property provided $103.1 million in net proceeds during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Transactions with Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Transactions with unconsolidated joint ventures also provide a source of liquidity. From time to time we will sell properties to unconsolidated joint ventures, while retaining a continuing interest in that entity, and receive proceeds commensurate to those interests that we do not own. Additionally, unconsolidated joint ventures will from time to time obtain debt financing or sell properties and will then distribute to us, and our joint venture partners, all or a portion of the proceeds from such transactions. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, our share of sale distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $4.9 million.

Uses of Liquidity

Our principal uses of liquidity include the following:


•	property investment;


•	leasing/capital costs;


•	dividends and distributions to shareholders and unitholders;


•	long-term debt maturities;


•	opportunistic repurchases of outstanding debt; and


•	other contractual obligations.

Property Investment

Our overall strategy is to continue to increase our investment in quality industrial properties. Pursuant to this strategy, we evaluate development and acquisition opportunities based upon our market outlook, including general economic conditions, supply and long-term growth potential. Our ability to make future property investments is dependent upon identifying suitable acquisition and development opportunities, and our continued access to our longer-term sources of liquidity, including issuances of debt or equity securities as well as generating cash flow by disposing of selected properties.

Leasing/Capital Costs

Tenant improvements and lease-related costs pertaining to our initial leasing of newly completed space, or vacant space in acquired properties, are referred to as first generation expenditures. Such first generation expenditures for tenant improvements are included within "development of real estate investments" in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while such expenditures for lease-related costs are included within "other deferred leasing costs."

Cash expenditures related to the construction of a building's shell, as well as the associated site improvements, are also included within "development of real estate investments" in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Tenant improvements and leasing costs to re-let rental space that we previously leased to tenants are referred to as second generation expenditures. Building improvements that are not specific to any tenant but serve to improve integral components of our real estate properties are also second generation expenditures. One of the principal uses of our liquidity is to fund the second generation leasing/capital expenditures of our real estate investments.

The following table summarizes our second generation capital expenditures by type of expenditure, as well as capital expenditures for the development of real estate investments and for other deferred leasing costs (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017		2016
Second generation tenant improvements	$	3,694	$	7,763
Second generation leasing costs	5,650		6,235
Building improvements	1,087		403
Total second generation capital expenditures	$	10,431	$	14,401
Development of real estate investments	$	112,727	$	108,179
Other deferred leasing costs	$	4,398	$	8,359

The capital expenditures in the table above include the capitalization of internal overhead costs. We capitalized $5.3 million and $6.8 million of overhead costs related to leasing activities, including both first and second generation leases, during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We capitalized $8.3 million and $6.3 million of overhead costs related to development activities, including both development and tenant improvement projects on first and second generation space, during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Combined overhead costs capitalized to leasing and development totaled 33.3% and 31.4% of our overall pool of overhead costs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Further discussion of the capitalization of overhead costs can be found herein, in the quarter-to-quarter comparison of general and administrative expenses of this Item 2 as well as in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2016 Annual Report.

In addition to the capitalization of overhead costs, the totals for development of real estate assets in the table above include the capitalization of $4.2 million and $5.7 million of interest costs in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The following table summarizes our second generation capital expenditures by reportable operating segment (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017		2016
Industrial	$	9,401	$	12,193
Medical Office	717		534
Non-reportable Rental Operations	313		1,674
Total	$	10,431	$	14,401

Both our first and second generation expenditures vary significantly between leases on a per square foot basis, dependent upon several factors including the product type, the nature of a tenant's operations, the specific physical characteristics of each individual property and the market in which the property is located.

Dividend and Distribution Requirements

The General Partner is required to meet the distribution requirements of the Code, in order to maintain its REIT status. We paid regular dividends or distributions of $0.19 per common share or Common Unit in the first quarter of 2017, and the General Partner's board of directors declared dividends or distributions of $0.19 per common share or Common Unit for the second quarter of 2017.

We expect to continue to distribute at least an amount equal to our taxable earnings, to meet the requirements to maintain the General Partner's REIT status, and additional amounts as determined by the General Partner's board of directors. Distributions are declared at the discretion of the General Partner's board of directors and are subject to actual cash available for distribution, our financial condition, capital requirements and such other factors as the General Partner's board of directors deems relevant.

Debt Maturities

Debt outstanding at March 31, 2017 had a face value totaling $3.10 billion with a weighted average interest rate of 4.33% and maturities at various dates through 2028. Of this total amount, we had $2.50 billion of unsecured debt, $366.8 million of secured debt and $237.0 million outstanding on our unsecured line of credit at March 31, 2017. Scheduled principal amortization, maturities and early repayments of such debt totaled $18.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The following table is a summary of the scheduled future amortization and maturities of our indebtedness at March 31, 2017 (in thousands, except percentage data):



	Future Repayments
Year	Scheduled Amortization		Maturities		Total		Weighted Average Interest Rate of Future Repayments

The Partnership's variable rate unsecured notes and unsecured line of credit are both reflected in the table above as maturing in January 2020, based on the ability to exercise a one-year extension option from their stated maturity dates of January 2019. We anticipate generating capital to fund our debt maturities by using undistributed cash generated from our Rental Operations and property dispositions and by raising additional capital from future debt or equity transactions.

Repurchases of Outstanding Debt

To the extent that it supports our overall capital strategy, we may purchase some of our outstanding unsecured notes prior to their stated maturities.

Contractual Obligations

Aside from repayments of long-term debt, there have not been material changes in our outstanding commitments since December 31, 2016, as previously discussed in our 2016 Annual Report.

Historical Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents were $13.4 million and $15.6 million at March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The following table highlights significant changes in net cash associated with our operating, investing and financing activities (in millions):



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017			2016
General Partner
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	109.9		$	72.9
Net Cash Used for Investing Activities	$	(210.9	)	$	(62.6	)
Net Cash Provided by (Used for) Financing Activities	$	101.7		$	(17.2	)

Partnership
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	109.9		$	72.9
Net Cash Used for Investing Activities	$	(210.9	)	$	(62.6	)
Net Cash Provided by (Used for) Financing Activities	$	101.7		$	(17.2	)

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities provide the cash necessary to meet normal operational requirements of our Rental Operations and Service Operations activities. The receipt of rental income from Rental Operations continues to be our primary source of operating cash flows. The increase to cash flow provided by operating activities, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, was due to improved operational performance, carrying a larger overall portfolio of real estate assets and lower cash paid for interest, as the result of the significant debt repayments or refinancings that took place throughout 2016.

Investing Activities

Investing activities are one of the primary uses of our liquidity. Development and acquisition activities typically generate additional rental revenues and provide cash flows for operational requirements. Highlights of significant cash sources and uses are as follows:


•	During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we paid cash of approximately $114.4 million and $50.4 million, respectively, for real estate and undeveloped land acquisitions, compared to $27.2 million of undeveloped land acquisitions and no real estate acquisitions in the same period in 2016.


•	Real estate development costs were $112.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $108.2 million for the same period in 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we placed five newly completed wholly owned development projects in service and expect to continue with a robust level of new development.


•	Sales of land and depreciated properties provided $103.1 million in net proceeds for the three months ended March 31, 2017, compared to $57.4 million for the same period in 2016.


•	Second generation tenant improvements, leasing costs and building improvements totaled $10.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to $14.4 million for the same period in 2016.


•	For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we received $4.9 million in capital distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures, compared to $29.5 million during the same period in 2016.


•	For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we made capital contributions of $297,000 to unconsolidated joint ventures, compared to $23.2 million during the same period in 2016.

Financing Activities

The following items highlight significant capital transactions:


•	For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we increased net borrowings on the Partnership's unsecured line of credit by $189.0 million, compared to an increase of $77.0 million of net borrowings for the same period in 2016.


•	During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we repaid two secured loans for $15.9 million. We repaid one secured loan for $14.4 million during the same period in 2016.


•	Changes in book overdrafts are classified as financing activities within our consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Book overdrafts were $20.6 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.


•	We paid regular cash dividends or distributions totaling $67.6 million and $62.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements - Investments in Unconsolidated Companies

We analyze our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures to determine if they meet the criteria for classification as a VIE and would require consolidation. We (i) evaluate the sufficiency of the total equity at risk, (ii) review the voting rights and decision-making authority of the equity investment holders as a group and whether there are limited partners (or similar owning entities) that lack substantive participating or kick out rights and (iii) establish whether or not activities within the venture are on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights in making this VIE determination. To the extent that we (i) are the sole entity that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE and (ii) have the obligation or rights to absorb the VIE's losses or receive its benefits, then we would be determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and would consolidate it. At the end of each reporting period, we re-assess our conclusions as to which, if any, party within the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary. To the extent that our joint ventures do not qualify as VIEs, we further assess each joint venture partner's substantive participating rights to determine if the venture should be consolidated. There were no unconsolidated joint ventures that met the criteria to be a VIE at March 31, 2017.

We have equity interests in unconsolidated partnerships and limited liability companies that primarily own and operate rental properties and hold land for development. These unconsolidated joint ventures are primarily engaged in the operations and development of industrial and medical office real estate properties. These investments provide us with increased market share and tenant and property diversification. The equity method of accounting is used for these investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over operating and financial policies. As a result, the assets and liabilities of these entities are not included on our balance sheet. Our investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures represented approximately 3% of our total assets at both March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Total assets of our unconsolidated joint ventures were $734.1 million and $743.4 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The combined revenues of our unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $21.5 million and $36.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We have guaranteed the repayment of certain secured and unsecured loans of our unconsolidated joint ventures. The outstanding balances on the guaranteed portion of these loans totaled $63.1 million at March 31, 2017.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our line of credit and our long-term borrowings. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. We have one outstanding swap, which fixes the rate on one of our variable rate loans and is not significant to our financial statements at March 31, 2017.

Our interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal amounts (in thousands) of the expected annual maturities, weighted average interest rates for the average debt outstanding in the specified period, fair values (in thousands) and other terms required to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes.



	Remainder of 2017			2018			2019			2020			2021			Thereafter			Face Value			Fair Value
Fixed rate secured debt	$	54,809		$	4,783		$	272,215		$	3,583		$	12,163		$	16,489		$	364,042		$	392,885
Weighted average interest rate	5.92		%	6.46		%	7.63		%	5.98		%	5.73		%	6.07		%	7.20		%
Variable rate secured debt	$	300		$	300		$	300		$	300		$	300		$	1,300		$	2,800		$	2,800

Weighted average interest rate	6.26		%	6.08		%	6.26		%	6.74		%	3.91		%	3.96		%	4.39		%
Variable rate unsecured notes	$	—		$	—		$	—		$	250,000		$	—		$	—		$	250,000		$	250,000
Rate at March 31, 2017	N/A			N/A			N/A			1.99%			N/A			N/A			1.99		%
Variable rate unsecured line of credit	$	—		$	—		$	—		$	237,000		$	—		$	—		$	237,000		$	237,000
Rate at March 31, 2017	N/A			N/A			N/A			1.85%			N/A			N/A			1.85		%

As the above table incorporates only those exposures that existed at March 31, 2017, it does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. As a result, the ultimate impact of interest rate fluctuations will depend on future exposures that arise, our hedging strategies at that time, to the extent we are party to interest rate derivatives, and interest rates. Interest expense on our unsecured line of credit, to the extent we have outstanding borrowings, and our variable rate unsecured notes will be affected by fluctuations in the LIBOR indices as well as changes in our credit rating. The interest rate at such point in the future as we may renew, extend or replace our unsecured line of credit will be heavily dependent upon the state of the credit environment.

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are parties to a variety of legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our businesses.
