The above named registrant is aware of its obligations under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Specifically, Weingarten Realty Investors acknowledges that:

·  
Should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;
·  
The action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and
·  
The company may not assert this action as defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

Please advise our counsel, Gina E. Betts at (214) 740-8000 of any questions.

Very truly yours,
