History
Duke Realty was founded in 1972 by John Rosebrough, Phil Duke, and John Wynne with $40,000 of capital. Its first development was in the Park 100 neighborhood in northwest Indianapolis. In 1993, the company became a public company via an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange, raising $310 million.[3][4]
In 1999, it merged with Weeks Corporation, another real estate investment trust with properties primarily in the Southwestern United States.[5][6][7]
In 2006, it acquired 32 buildings in the Washington, D.C. area from the Mark Winkler Company.[8]
In May 2017, it sold its medical office properties to Healthcare Trust of America for $2.8 billion to focus on its industrial properties.[9]
In July 2017, Duke Realty was added to the S&P 500.[10]
In October 2022, the company was acquired by Prologis.[11]
