Our Dallas and Southern California offices found ways to give back, and give together, during Duke Realty’s Day of Service.

The true mark of a company’s character isn’t how it talks about values—it’s how it embodies them. At Duke Realty, we are committed to creating an environment that nurtures and rewards employees, promotes respect, and encourages everyone to contribute their talents to our success.

That’s why we’re so pleased to announce that our offices in Texas and California have earned recognition as Best Places to Work this year. In fact, our California office won the #1 ranking—no small feat in a competitive market.

As California’s Preconstruction Manager Christos Mavrakis explained to the Orange County Business Journal, “We have a bigger-picture perspective. It starts at the top. We celebrate and share our successes and problems, as well. We’re all in this together.”

With this year’s awards, the number of Duke Realty offices that have won a Best Place to Work distinction in recent years is well over a half-dozen, including our locations in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Nashville, and more.

Our offices have also been regularly recognized with Healthiest Employers and Workplace Health Achievement awards, and our community leadership has earned recognition from United Way, the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, and more.

As proud as we are to have earned these distinctions, we never forget that awards are not an end unto themselves. Instead, they serve as reminders that we continue to succeed when we embody our shared values—all of us, together.
