Re: | Weingarten Realty Investors |
Withdrawal of Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-3 | |
File No. 333-127969 | |
Filed on April 25, 2014 | |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with Rule 477 of Regulation C promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Weingarten Realty Investors, a Texas real estate investment trust (the "Registrant"), hereby respectfully requests the immediate withdrawal of the above-referenced Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
The Registrant is making this request because the above-referenced Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 was inadvertently filed as a S-3/A pre-effective amendment rather than a POS AM post-effective amendment. The Registrant has filed the appropriate Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-127969) on May 2, 2014 as a POS AM post-effective amendment. Please do not withdraw Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-127969) filed on May 2, 2014.
Respectfully submitted,
WEINGARTEN REALTY INVESTORS
