     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  $275,000,000.

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

These notes represent a reopening of the 4.857% medium-term note due 2014 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  January  14,  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  January  14, 2004 ("pre-issuance accrued interest") which will be included
in  the  accrued interest to be paid on the first interest payment date on March
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.
