     Additional  terms:  N/A

     As  of  the  date  of this Pricing Supplement, the aggregate initial public
offering  price  (or  its equivalent in other currencies) of the Debt Securities
(as  defined  in  the  Prospectus)  which have been sold (including the Notes to
which  this  Pricing  Supplement  relates)  is  $450,000,000.

     "N/A"  as  used  herein  means  "Not  Applicable."

These notes represent a reopening of the 5.263% medium-term note due 2012 issued
by Weingarten Realty Investors and these notes constitute a single series of
notes with these notes.

Pursuant  to  U.S.  Treasury regulations section 1.1275-2(k)(3), the issuance of
the  notes  will  be  treated as a "qualified reopening" of the fixed rate notes
with  an  original issue date of May 6, 2004 (the "original notes').  Therefore,
for purposes of the rules governing original issue discount, the notes will have
the same issue date, issue price and adjusted issue price as the original notes.
See  "Federal  Income Tax Consequences - U.S. Holders - Original Issue Discount"
in  the prospectus supplement.  Depending on your purchase price for your notes,
your notes may have a market discount or amortizable bond premium.  See "Federal
Income  Tax  Consequences  -  U.S.  Holders - Market Discount" and "-Acquisition
Premium;  Amortizable  Bond Premium" in the prospectus supplement.  The purchase
price  for  the  notes  will  also  reflect  interest  accrued  from May 6, 2004
("pre-issuance accrued interest") which will be included in the accrued interest
to  be  paid  on  the  first  interest  payment  date on September 15, 2004.  In
accordance  with  U.S. Treasury regulations section 1.1273-2(m), for purposes of
the rules governing original issue, Weingarten Realty Investors will exclude the
pre-issuance  accrued interest from the issue price of the notes.  In accordance
with  this treatment, holders must treat a corresponding portion of the interest
payable  on  the  first  interest  payment  date  as  a  return  of the excluded
pre-issuance  accrued  interest,  rather than as an amount payable on the notes.
