ITEM  2.  ACQUISITION  OR  DISPOSITION  OF  ASSETS

This  amendment supplements the information provided pursuant to the Form 8-K of
Weingarten Realty Investors filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
April  16,  2001.

On  April  2, 2001, Weingarten Realty Investors acquired 19 supermarket-anchored
shopping centers, aggregating 2.5 million square feet in California (the "Golden
State  Portfolio")  from  Burnham  Pacific  Properties,  Inc.  Material  factors
considered  in  this  acquisition made by WRI include historical and prospective
financial  performance  of  the center, credit quality of the tenancy, local and
regional demographics, location and competition, ad valorem tax rates, condition
of  the  property  and  the  related  anticipated  level of capital expenditures
required.  The  purchase  price  for  the  properties  was $277.5 million.  This
acquisition  was  funded under our revolving credit facility, with the exception
of  $132 million in debt secured by all 19 properties, which was assumed by WRI.
Audited  financial  statements  and unaudited pro forma financial information on
these  properties  are  submitted  in  ITEM  7.  below.

GOLDEN  STATE  PORTFOLIO



INDEPENDENT  AUDITORS'  REPORT

To  the  Board  of  Trust  Managers  and  Shareholders  of
     Weingarten  Realty  Investors:

We  have  audited  the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of
the  Golden  State Portfolio ("GSP") for the year ended December 31, 2000.  This
statement  of  revenue  and  certain  expenses  is  the  responsibility of GSP's
management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express an opinion on the statement of
revenue  and  certain  expenses  based  on  our  audit.

We  conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in  the  United  States  of  America.  Those  standards require that we plan and
perform  the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of
revenue  and  certain  expenses  is  free  of  material  misstatement.  An audit
includes  examining  on  a  test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts and
disclosures  in  the statement.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as well as
evaluating  the  overall statement of revenue and certain expenses presentation.
We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a  reasonable  basis  for  our opinion.

The  accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the
purpose  of  complying  with  the  rules  and  regulations of the Securities and
Exchange  Commission for inclusion in Form 8-K/A of Weingarten Realty Investors.
Certain  expenses  (described  in  Note 1) that would not be comparable to those
resulting  from  the proposed future operations of the property are excluded and
the statement is not intended to be a complete presentation of GSP's revenue and
expenses.

In  our  opinion, the statement of revenue and certain expenses presents fairly,
in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses, as defined above, of
Golden  State Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with
accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  United  States of America.

                             GOLDEN STATE PORTFOLIO
               NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000

1.     ORGANIZATION  AND  SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES

ORGANIZATION  -  The  accompanying  statement  of  revenue  and certain expenses
includes  the  operations  of  the  Golden  State  Portfolio  ("GSP").  GSP  was
purchased  by  Weingarten Realty Investors ("WRI") on April 2, 2001 from Burnham
Pacific  Properties,  Inc.  This  acquisition  includes  19 supermarket-anchored
shopping  centers,  an  aggregate of 2.5 million square feet.  These properties,
which  are over 96% leased, are located in the Sacramento/San Francisco Bay area
(13  properties)  and  in  the  Los Angeles area (six properties).  The purchase
price  for  the  properties  was  $277.5  million,  including  the assumption of
approximately $132 million in debt secured by all 19 properties.  WRI is a Texas
real  estate  investment  trust, which is primarily involved in the acquisition,
development,  and  management  of real estate, consisting mostly of neighborhood
and  community shopping centers and, to a lesser extent, industrial properties.

BASIS  OF  PRESENTATION - The accompanying statement was prepared to comply with
the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission for
inclusion  in  Form  8-K/A  of  WRI.

The  accompanying  statement  is not representative of the actual operations for
the  period  presented  as  certain  expenses  that may not be comparable to the
expenses  expected  to  be  incurred by WRI in the future operations of GSP have
been  excluded.  Excluded  expenses  consist  of  interest,  depreciation  and
amortization,  property  expenses  and  general  and  administrative  costs  not
directly  comparable  to  the  future  operations  of  GSP.

REVENUE  RECOGNITION - Rental revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line
basis  over  the  life of the lease for operating leases.  Tenant reimbursements
(payments  for  taxes,  maintenance  expenses  and insurance by the lessees) are
estimated  and  accrued  over  the  fiscal  year.

USE  OF  ESTIMATES  -  The  preparation  of  the  financial  statement  requires
management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported
in the financial statement as well as certain disclosures.  Actual results could
differ  from  those  estimates.

2.     RENTALS  UNDER  OPERATING  LEASES

Future  minimum  rental  income from non-cancelable operating leases at December
31,  2000  is:  $21,177,336  in  2001, $25,940,093 in 2002, $22,697,745 in 2003,
$20,411,677  in  2004,  $17,510,702  in  2005  and  $76,758,692  thereafter.

                                 (in thousands)

This unaudited Pro Forma Balance Sheet is presented as if the acquisition of the
acquired  properties, as set forth in the Notes and Significant Assumptions, had
occurred  as  of  January  1,  2001.  In  management's  opinion, all adjustments
necessary  to  reflect  the  effects  of  this transaction have been made.  This
unaudited  Pro  Forma Balance Sheet is not necessarily indicative of the results
that  actually  would  have  occurred  if the acquisition had been on January 1,
2001,  or  does  it  purport  to  represent  the  results  of  future  periods.

(A)     ACQUIRED  PROPERTIES

The  purchase  price  for  the  19  supermarket-anchored  shopping  centers (the
"Acquired  Properties")  was  $277.5  million and was allocated between land and
buildings,  with  the  buildings being depreciated over a period of forty years.
This acquisition was funded under our revolving credit facility (average rate of
6.97% and 6.79% at December 31, 2000 and March 31, 2001, respectively), with the
exception  of $132 million of debt (average rate of 8.33%), which was assumed by
WRI.  Pro  forma  revenue  and  expenses,  other than interest and depreciation,
represent  the  historical  amounts  of  the  Acquired  Properties.
