Duke Realty's Industrial Strength

Duke Realty SVP Jeff Thornton says that the company will continue to be active on the development and acquisition fronts during 2013, especially in the industrial and medical sectors. To date, Duke has assembled a 14.8M SF industrial office portfolio in Dallas, which hit 91% occupancy by the end of 2012.
