CNA Takes Legal Action Against Duke Realty

Suit seeks $30 million in damages from Duke for breach of obligation  
as landlord of its Mark Center property

ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- CNA today  
announced that it has filed suit against Duke Realty Corp., the owner  
and developer of Mark Center in Alexandria, Virginia, seeking $30  
million for the damages caused by Duke's violations of its lease  
obligations and its legal duties to CNA.  The suit has been filed in  
the Circuit Court Alexandria, Virginia.

CNA's claim stems from Duke's sale of vacant Mark Center property to  
the U.S. government, and the company's subsequent development, for  
the Department of Defense (DoD), of two high-rise office buildings  
(representing 1.7 million square feet of office space), two above- 
ground parking garages (for 4,500 vehicles) and a remote inspection  
facility (to search for explosives and other harmful materials that  
could be brought to the site by terrorists).  The DoD has declared  
the site to be part of its Fort Belvoir base – located nine miles to  
the south of Mark Center.
