Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Business
	Weingarten Realty Investors is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) organized under the Texas Business Organizations Code. We currently operate, and intend to operate in the future, as a REIT.
	We, and our predecessor entity, began the ownership and development of shopping centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers we own or lease. We also provide property management services for which we charge fees for either joint ventures where we are partners or for other outside owners.
	We operate a portfolio of neighborhood and community shopping centers, totaling approximately 50.4 million square feet of gross leaseable area, that is either owned by us or others. We have a diversified tenant base, with our largest tenant comprising only 3.2% of total rental revenues during the first nine months of 2013. Total revenues less operating expenses and real estate taxes from continuing operations ("net operating income from continuing operations") generated by our properties located in Houston and its surrounding areas was 20.0% of total net operating income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and an additional 7.8% of net operating income from continuing operations is generated from properties that are located in other parts of Texas.
	Basis of Presentation
	Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries, certain partially owned real estate joint ventures or partnerships and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) which meet the guidelines for consolidation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited; however, amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 are derived from our audited financial statements at that date. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and certain information included in our annual financial statements and notes thereto has been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements.
	Restricted Deposits and Mortgage Escrows
	Restricted deposits and mortgage escrows consist of escrow deposits held by lenders primarily for property taxes, insurance and replacement reserves and restricted cash that is held for a specific use or in a qualified escrow account for the purposes of completing like-kind exchange transactions.
	Our restricted deposits and mortgage escrows consist of the following (in thousands):
		September 30,		December 31,
		2013		2012
	Restricted cash (1)	$	52,567	$	36,944
	Mortgage escrows	4,901		7,152
	Total	$	57,468	$	44,096
	_______________
	-1	The increase between the periods presented is primarily attributable to $50.3 million placed in a qualified escrow account, less the use of $30.7 million for the purpose of completing like-kind exchange transactions.
	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
	Changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss by component consists of the following (in thousands):
		Loss		(Gain) Loss				Defined				Total
		on		on				Benefit
		Investments		Cash Flow				Pension
				Hedges				Plan

	_______________
	-1	This reclassification component is included in interest expense (see Note 7 for additional information).
	-2	This reclassification component is included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost (see Note 14 for additional information).
	Reclassifications
	The reclassification of prior years’ operating results for certain properties classified as discontinued operations was made to conform to the current year presentation (see Note 10 and 12 for additional information). These items had no impact on previously reported net income, the consolidated balance sheet or cash flows.

	In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities,” which requires entities to provide new disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements for financial instruments and derivatives. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-11 were effective for us on January 1, 2013, and were required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this ASU did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements, but required additional disclosures.
	In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," which amends the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 to apply only to entities with derivatives accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standard Code 815. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-01 were effective for us on January 1, 2013, and were required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this ASU did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income if it is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety. For other reclassified amounts, an entity is required cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-02 were effective for us on January 1, 2013, and have been applied prospectively. The adoption of this ASU did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements, but required additional disclosures.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date." This ASU requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity has agreed to pay in accordance to the arrangement and (2) any additional amounts the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. Additional disclosures on the nature and amounts of the obligation will also be required. The provisions of ASU No. 2013-04 are effective for us on January 1, 2014, and are required to be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." This ASU amends current GAAP to require entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for net operating loss or other tax credit carryforwards when settlement is available under the tax law. The provisions of ASU 2013-11 are effective for us on January 1, 2014, and are required to be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits in existence. Retrospective application may be applied to prior reporting periods presented. We do not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

	Our investment in real estate joint ventures and partnerships, as reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, differs from our proportionate share of the entities' underlying net assets due to basis differences, which arose upon the transfer of assets to the joint ventures. The net positive basis differences, which totaled $5.9 million and $1.6 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, are generally amortized over the useful lives of the related assets.
	Our real estate joint ventures and partnerships have determined that the carrying amount of certain properties was not recoverable and that the properties should be written down to fair value. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships recorded an impairment charge of $.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, on various properties that have been marketed and sold during the period. There was $.3 million and $96.8 million of impairment recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.
	Fees earned by us for the management of these real estate joint ventures and partnerships totaled $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3.8 million and $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	During 2013, the final two industrial properties in an unconsolidated joint venture were sold. This joint venture was liquidated resulting in an $11.5 million gain on our investment. Also, two shopping centers were sold, and the gross sales proceeds from the disposition of these four properties totaled $11.7 million. Furthermore, we sold our 10% interest in two unconsolidated tenancy-in-common arrangements for approximately $8.9 million that we previously accounted for under the equity method. See Note 20 for subsequent events.
	During 2013, we acquired a 51% unconsolidated real estate joint venture interest in a shopping center for approximately $16.5 million.
	In August 2012, we acquired a partner's 79.6% interest in an unconsolidated tenancy-in-common arrangement for approximately $29.6 million that we had previously accounted for under the equity method and included the assumption of debt of $24.5 million. This transaction resulted in the consolidation of the property in our consolidated financial statements.
	During 2012, our interest in 19 industrial properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures, in which we are a partner, were sold through either a direct sale by the joint venture or the sale of our interest. Gross sales proceeds, including the assumption of debt, from these transactions totaled $210.4 million.
	In February 2012, we sold a 47.8% unconsolidated joint venture interest in a Colorado development project to our partner with gross sales proceeds totaling $29.1 million, which includes the assumption of our share of debt.

	Notes Receivable from Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
	We have ownership interests in a number of real estate joint ventures and partnerships. Notes receivable from these entities bear interest ranging from approximately 2.9% to 10.0% at September 30, 2013 and 2.9% to 16.0% at December 31, 2012. These notes are due at various dates through 2017 and are generally secured by underlying real estate assets.
	We believe these notes are fully collectible, and no allowance has been recorded. Interest income recognized on these notes was $.5 million and $.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.8 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	In November 2012, a $16.1 million note matured and negotiations for repayment were entered into. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, the note was paid. See Note 20 for additional information.
	In February 2012, we received $59.2 million in payment of our notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships, in conjunction with the sale of our 47.8% interest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture. See Note 15 for additional information.

	We maintain a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which was last amended on April 18, 2013. This facility expires in April 2017, provides for two consecutive six-month extensions upon our request and borrowing rates that float at a margin over LIBOR plus a facility fee. At September 30, 2013, the borrowing margin and facility fee, which are priced off a grid that is tied to our senior unsecured credit ratings, are 115 and 20 basis points, respectively. The facility also contains a competitive bid feature that will allow us to request bids for up to $250 million. Additionally, an accordion feature allows us to increase the facility amount up to $700 million.
	Effective May 2010, we entered into an agreement with a bank for an unsecured and uncommitted overnight facility totaling $99 million that we maintain for cash management purposes. The facility provides for fixed interest rate loans at a 30-day LIBOR rate plus a borrowing margin based on market liquidity.
	The following table discloses certain information regarding our unsecured notes payable under our credit facilities (in thousands, except percentages):
		September 30,			December 31,

	Year-to-date weighted average interest rate (excluding facility fee)	1.1		%	1.3		%
	Related to a development project in Sheridan, Colorado, we have provided a guaranty for the payment of any debt service shortfalls until a coverage rate of 1.4x is met on tax increment revenue bonds issued in connection with the project. The bonds are to be repaid with incremental sales and property taxes and a public improvement fee (“PIF”) to be assessed on current and future retail sales and, to the extent necessary, any amounts we may have to provide under a guaranty. The incremental taxes and PIF are to remain intact until the earlier of the date the bond liability has been paid in full or 2040, as extended by the Sheridan Redevelopment Agency (“Agency”) in April 2011. Therefore, a debt service guaranty liability equal to the fair value of the amounts funded under the bonds was recorded. For both periods ended at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $74.1 million outstanding for the debt service guaranty liability.
	On March 22, 2013, we issued $300 million of 3.5% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2023. The notes were issued at 99.53% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 3.56%. The net proceeds received of $296.6 million were used to reduce amounts outstanding under our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which included borrowings used to redeem $75 million of our 6.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares. In addition, $113.6 million of fixed-rate medium term notes matured during 2013 at a weighted average interest rate of 5.6%. See Note 20 for subsequent events.
	Various leases and properties, and current and future rentals from those leases and properties, collateralize certain debt. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the carrying value of such assets aggregated $1.3 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively.
	Scheduled principal payments on our debt (excluding $114.5 million due under our credit facilities, $21.0 million of certain capital leases, $6.3 million fair value of interest rate contracts, $(2.4) million net premium/(discount) on debt, $2.4 million of non-cash debt-related items, and $74.1 million debt service guaranty liability) are due during the following years (in thousands):

	_______________
	-1	Includes $100 million of our 8.1% senior unsecured notes due 2019 which may be redeemed by us at any time on or after September 2014 at our option.
	Our various debt agreements contain restrictive covenants, including minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratios, minimum net worth requirements and maximum total debt levels. We believe we were in compliance with our public debt and revolving credit facility covenants as of September 30, 2013.

Cash Flow Hedges:

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had three active interest rate contracts designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $26.0 million and $26.5 million, respectively. These contracts have maturities through September 2017 and either fix or cap interest rates ranging from 2.3% to 5.0%. We have determined that these contracts are highly effective in offsetting future variable interest cash flows.

Also, at September 30, 2013, we had three forward-starting contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million hedging future fixed-rate debt issuances. These contracts are effective in January 2014, mature in January 2024 and fix the 10-year swap rates at 2.4%. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we settled these forward-starting contracts. See Note 20 for additional information.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the balance in accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) relating to cash flow interest rate contracts was $1.0 million and $(7.5) million, respectively, and will be reclassified to net interest expense as interest payments are made on our fixed-rate debt. Within the next 12 months, a loss of approximately $2.0 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be amortized to net interest expense related to settled interest rate contracts.

Fair Value Hedges:

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had four interest rate contracts, maturing through October 2017, with an aggregate notional amount of $117.1 million and $118.1 million, respectively, that were designated as fair value hedges and convert fixed interest payments at rates from 4.2% to 7.5% to variable interest payments ranging from .3% to 4.3%. We have determined that our fair value hedges are highly effective in limiting our risk of changes in the fair value of fixed-rate notes attributable to changes in interest rates.

Preferred Shares Of Beneficial Interest	'
	Preferred Shares of Beneficial Interest
	We issued $150 million and $200 million of depositary shares on June 6, 2008 and January 30, 2007, respectively. Each depositary share represents one-hundredth of a Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share. The depositary shares are redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per depositary share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. The depositary shares are not convertible or exchangeable for any of our other property or securities. The Series F Preferred Shares pay a 6.5% annual dividend and have a liquidation value of $2,500 per share. The Series F Preferred Shares issued in June 2008 were issued at a discount, resulting in an effective rate of 8.25%.
	We exercised our option to redeem a portion of the Series F depositary shares totaling $200 million on June 5, 2013. Upon the redemption of these shares, a portion of the related original issuance costs totaling $15.7 million was reported as a deduction in arriving at net income attributable to common shareholders. The outstanding $150 million Series F Preferred Shares pay a 6.5% annual dividend and have a liquidation value of $2,500 per share. Of these outstanding shares, $64.3 million were issued at a discount and have an effective rate of 8.25%.
	In April 2003, we issued $75 million of depositary shares with each share representing one-thirtieth of a Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share. The depositary shares were redeemed on March 18, 2013, at our option, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per depositary share or $75 million, plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Upon the redemption of these shares, the related original issuance costs of $2.2 million were reported as a deduction in arriving at net income attributable to common shareholders. The Series D Preferred Shares paid a 6.75% annual dividend, had a liquidation value of $750 per share and were not convertible or exchangeable for any of our property or securities.

	Discontinued Operations
	For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we sold 18 centers of which eight were located in Texas, three in North Carolina, two each in Florida and New Mexico and one each in California, Nevada and Tennessee. As of September 30, 2013, there were no properties classified as held for sale as the potential disposition of assets currently being marketed was not deemed probable.
	During 2012, we sold 27 shopping centers, 54 industrial properties, and we assigned a 75% consolidated joint venture interest to our partner. Of these dispositions, 55 were located in Texas, six each in Florida and Georgia, three in North Carolina, two each in Colorado, Louisiana and Virginia and one each in Arizona, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Oklahoma and Tennessee. As part of these 2012 dispositions, we sold, in May 2012, a portfolio of 52 wholly-owned industrial properties in order to exit the industrial real estate market and further align and strengthen our position solely as a retail REIT. As of December 31, 2012, no properties were classified as held for sale.
	Included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2012 was $207.5 million of property and $72.0 million of accumulated depreciation related to the 18 centers that were sold during 2013.
	The operating results of these centers have been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as follows (in thousands):

Share Options And Awards	'
	Share Options and Awards
	During 2013, we granted restricted share awards incorporating both service-based and market-based measures to promote share ownership among the participants and to emphasize the importance of total shareholder return ("TSR"). The terms of each grant vary depending upon the participant's responsibilities and position within the Company. We categorize these share awards as either service-based share awards or market-based share awards. All awards were valued at the fair market value on the date of grant and earn dividends throughout the vesting period. Compensation expense is measured at the grant date and recognized over the vesting period. All share awards are awarded subject to the participant’s continued employment with us.
	The fair value of the market-based share awards was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the following assumptions:
		Nine Months Ended
		30-Sep-13
		Minimum		Maximum
	Dividend yield	0	%	3.9	%

	As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was approximately $4.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted shares for both periods, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average of 1.7 and 1.9 years, respectively.

	Commitments and Contingencies
	As of September 30, 2013, we participate in four real estate ventures structured as DownREIT partnerships that have properties in Arkansas, California, North Carolina, Texas and Utah. As a general partner, we have operating and financial control over these ventures and consolidate them in our consolidated financial statements. These ventures allow the outside limited partners to put their interest in the partnership to us in exchange for our common shares or an equivalent amount in cash. We may acquire any limited partnership interests that are put to the partnership, and we have the option to redeem the interest in cash or a fixed number of our common shares, at our discretion. We also participate in a real estate venture that has a property in Texas that allows its outside partner to put operating partnership units to us. We have the option to redeem these units in cash or a fixed number of our common shares, at our discretion. No common shares were issued in exchange for any of these interests during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The aggregate redemption value of these interests was approximately $46 million and $42 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
	We are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations in the areas where we own or operate properties. We are not aware of any contamination which may have been caused by us or any of our tenants that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
	As part of our risk management activities, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs which will limit our expenses if contaminants need to be remediated. We also have an environmental insurance policy that covers us against third party liabilities and remediation costs.
	While we believe that we do not have any material exposure to environmental remediation costs, we cannot give absolute assurance that changes in the law or new discoveries of contamination will not result in additional liabilities to us.
	During 2011, we filed a lawsuit against our joint venture partner in connection with a development project in Sheridan, Colorado for failure to perform on the joint venture’s past due intercompany note payable to us, which has been eliminated within our consolidated financial statements. We are also involved in one consolidated and two unconsolidated joint ventures with this partner. Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we completed negotiations with our partner and settled the lawsuit. See Note 20 for additional information.
	As of September 30, 2013, we have entered into commitments aggregating $73.3 million comprised principally of construction contracts which are generally due in 12 to 36 months.
	We are also involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While we are unable to predict the amounts involved, our management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, any additional liability, if any, will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

	Consolidated VIEs:
	Two of our real estate joint ventures whose activities principally consist of owning and operating 28 neighborhood/community shopping centers in 2013 and 30 shopping centers in 2012, located in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, were determined to be VIEs. Based on financing agreements that are guaranteed solely by us, we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary in both instances and have consolidated these joint ventures.
	A summary of our consolidated VIEs is as follows (in thousands):
		September 30,		December 31,
		2013		2012
	Maximum Risk of Loss (1)	$	88,000	$	111,305

	Assets held as collateral for debt	229,644		246,486
	_______________
	-1	The maximum risk of loss has been determined to be limited to our debt exposure for each real estate joint venture.
	Restrictions on the use of these assets are significant because they serve as collateral for the VIEs’ debt, and we would generally be required to obtain our partners’ approval in accordance with the joint venture agreements for any major transactions. Transactions with these joint ventures on our consolidated financial statements have been limited to changes in noncontrolling interests and reductions in debt from our partners’ contributions. We and our partners are subject to the provisions of the joint venture agreements which include provisions for when additional contributions may be required to fund operating cash shortfalls and unplanned capital expenditures.
	Unconsolidated VIEs:
	At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, one and two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, respectively, were determined to be a VIEs through the issuance of secured loans, since the lenders had the ability to make decisions that could have a significant impact on the success of the entities.

	-2	The maximum risk of loss has been determined to be limited to our debt exposure for each real estate joint venture. The maximum risk of loss at December 31, 2012, includes $20.9 million of debt recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet due to its association with a tenancy-in-common arrangement.
	We and our partners are subject to the provisions of the joint venture agreements that specify conditions, including operating shortfalls and unplanned capital expenditures, under which additional contributions may be required.

	Property Impairments
	Property is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the property, including any identifiable intangible assets, site costs and capitalized interest, may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of each such property into the foreseeable future on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. If we conclude that an impairment may have occurred, estimated fair values are determined by management utilizing cash flow models, market capitalization rates and market discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker valuation estimates, appraisals, bona fide purchase offers or the expected sales price of an executed sales agreement in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy. Market capitalization rates and market discount rates are determined by reviewing current sales of similar properties and transactions, and utilizing management’s knowledge and expertise in property marketing.
	Investments in Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships Impairments
	The fair value of our investment in partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships is estimated by management based on a number of factors, including the performance of each investment, the life and other terms of the investment, holding periods, market conditions, cash flow models, market capitalization rates and market discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker valuation estimates, appraisals and bona fide purchase offers in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy. Market capitalization rates and market discount rates are determined by reviewing current sales of similar properties and transactions, and utilizing management’s knowledge and expertise in property marketing. We recognize an impairment loss if we determine the fair value of an investment is less than its carrying amount and that loss in value is other than temporary.

-2	In accordance with our policy of evaluating and recording impairments on the disposal of long-lived assets, property with a carrying amount of $22.4 million was written down to a fair value of $19.7 million less costs to sell of $.3 million, resulting in a loss of $3.0 million, which was included in earnings for the period. Management’s estimate of fair value of these properties was determined using a bona fide purchase offer for the Level 2 inputs. See the quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used for our Level 3 fair value measurements table below.
-3	Our net investment in real estate joint ventures and partnerships with a carrying amount of $30.8 million was written down to a fair value of $24.2 million, resulting in a loss of $6.6 million, which was included in earnings for the period. Management’s estimate of fair value of this investment was determined using the weighted average of the bona fide purchase offers received for the Level 2 inputs.

Subsequent Events	'
	Subsequent Events
	Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we acquired additional real estate assets totaling $85.6 million, including a 350,000 square foot in-fill shopping center in Austin, Texas.
	Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we entered an agreement with our joint venture partners. Pursuant to the agreement, we settled a lawsuit filed against our joint venture partner in connection with a development project in Sheridan, Colorado and paid down a $16.1 million note receivable (see Note 5 for further information) in exchange for cash and real property totaling $19.1 million, receipt of our partner’s interest in two consolidated joint ventures resulting in an increase of approximately $16.2 million in noncontrolling interests and distribution of our interest in two unconsolidated joint ventures with total assets of $23.2 million at September 30, 2013.
	Subsequent to September 30, 2013, we executed a non-binding letter of intent to dissolve a consolidated joint venture with $172.5 million in total assets, in which we have a 30% ownership interest, through a distribution of properties to each partner. Pursuant to this agreement, a $100 million note payable was repaid prior to maturity.
	On October 15, 2013, we issued $250 million of 4.45% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2024. The notes were issued at 99.58% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 4.50%. The net proceeds received of $247.3 million were used to reduce all amounts outstanding under our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, and net excess proceeds were invested in short-term instruments and will be used to pay down future debt maturities or for general business purposes. In connection with the issuance of these notes, we received $6.1 million associated with the settlement of our three forward-starting interest rate contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $150 million.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis Of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation
	Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries, certain partially owned real estate joint ventures or partnerships and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) which meet the guidelines for consolidation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited; however, amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 are derived from our audited financial statements at that date. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
	The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and certain information included in our annual financial statements and notes thereto has been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements.
Restricted Deposits And Mortgage Escrows	'
	Restricted Deposits and Mortgage Escrows
	Restricted deposits and mortgage escrows consist of escrow deposits held by lenders primarily for property taxes, insurance and replacement reserves and restricted cash that is held for a specific use or in a qualified escrow account for the purposes of completing like-kind exchange transactions.
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications
	The reclassification of prior years’ operating results for certain properties classified as discontinued operations was made to conform to the current year presentation (see Note 10 and 12 for additional information). These items had no impact on previously reported net income, the consolidated balance sheet or cash flows.
