1.   INTERIM  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS

     The  consolidated  financial  statements  included  in  this  report  are
     unaudited,  except  for  the  balance sheet as of December 31, 2000. In the
     opinion  of  WRI, 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  consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted
     by  Form  10-Q,  and  do  not contain certain information included in WRI's
     annual  financial  statements  and  notes.

     Certain reclassifications of prior year's amounts have been made to conform
     with  the  current  year  presentation.

2.   NEWLY  ADOPTED  ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS

     On  January  1,  2001, WRI adopted SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
     Instruments  and  Hedging Activities," as amended. SFAS No. 133 establishes
     accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments. Specifically
     SFAS  No.  133  requires  an  entity to recognize all derivatives as either
     assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and to measure
     those  instruments  at fair value. Additionally, the fair value adjustments
     will  affect either shareholders' equity or net income depending on whether
     the  derivative  instruments  qualifies  as a hedge for accounting purposes
     and,  if  so,  the  nature  of  the  hedging  activity.

     WRI  hedges  the future cash flows of debt transactions principally through
     interest  rate  swaps  with  major  financial  institutions.  WRI  has four
     interest  rate  swap  contracts  with  an  aggregate notional amount of $70
     million  that convert variable interest payments to fixed interest payments
     at  rates from 6.80% to 7.87%. These swaps have been designated and qualify
     as  cash  flow  hedges. We have determined these swap agreements are highly
     effective  in offsetting future variable interest cash flows of the related
     debt  instruments.  As of January 1, 2001, the adoption of the new standard
     resulted  in  a  cumulative  transition  adjustment  of  $1.9  million  to
     accumulated  other  comprehensive  income,  a  component  of  shareholders'
     equity,  and  a  corresponding  liability  of  the same amount. For the six
     months ended June 30, 2001, the change in fair market value of our interest
     rate  swaps  was  $1.0  million  and  was  recorded  in  accumulated  other
     comprehensive  income.

     On  June 25, 2001, WRI entered into two forward-starting interest rate swap
     contracts  with  a  notional amount of $188.7 million. These contracts have
     been  designated  and  qualify  as  cash flow hedges of forecasted interest
     payments.  We  have  determined  these  contracts  are  highly effective in
     offsetting  future  variable  interest  cash  flows  of  fixed-rate  debt
     instruments  to  be issued in future periods. For the six months ended June
     30,  2001, the change in fair market value of our forward-starting interest
     rate  swap contracts was $3.8 million and was recorded in accumulated other
     comprehensive  income  and  other  assets.

     We  do  not  anticipate  any  material  reclassifications  to earnings from
     accumulated  other  comprehensive  income  over  the  next  12  months.

     In  July  2000,  the Emerging Issues Task Force of the Financial Accounting
     Standards  Board  reached  a  consensus  on  EITF  Issue No. 00-1,"Investor
     Balance  Sheet  and  Income  Statement  Display under the Equity Method for
     Investments  in  Certain  Partnerships  and Other Ventures." This consensus
     requires  that  the  proportionate share method of presenting balance sheet
     and  income  statement  information  for partnerships and other ventures in
     which  entities  have joint interest and control be discontinued, except in
     limited  circumstances.  WRI  was  required  to  conform  with the guidance
     provided  in  this  Issue  effective  December  31,  2000. Accordingly, the
     consolidated  financial  statements  for  all  periods  of  the  prior year
     presented  in this  Form 10-Q  have  been  restated  to  conform  with  the
     revised  presentation.

     At  June  30,  2001, the variable interest rate for notes payable under the
     $20  and  $350  million  revolving  credit  agreements  was  4.4% and 4.5%,
     respectively.

     In  January  2000,  WRI  issued $10.5 million of ten-year 8.25% fixed-rate,
     unsecured  medium  term  notes.  In  connection with this debt issuance, we
     entered into a ten-year interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount
     of  $10.5  million  to  swap  8.25%  fixed-rate  interest for floating-rate
     interest.  On  January  4, 2001, we terminated this interest rate swap with
     the counter-party, resulting in the receipt of $.9 million. As the swap was
     accounted  for  as  a  hedge  of  the  medium  term  note, the gain will be
     amortized  over  the remaining life of the note, which lowers the effective
     interest  rate  on  the  note  to  7.4%

     In  March  2001, we filed a $500 million shelf registration statement which
     can  be utilized for the issuance of either debt or equity securities. This
     registration  statement  is  not  yet  effective.

     Subsequent to June 30, 2001, the Company completed two additional financing
     transactions. On July 5, 2001, we entered into a $50 million unsecured term
     loan  with  two  banks  that also participate in our $350 million revolving
     credit  facility.  The  terms  of  the  $50  million loan are substantially
     identical  to  those  of our $350 million revolving credit facility, and it
     also  matures  on  the same date. On July 12, 2001, we sold $200 million of
     unsecured notes with a coupon of 7%. Net proceeds from the offering totaled
     $198.3 million and were used to pay down amounts outstanding under our $350
     revolving  credit  facility.  Concurrent  with the sale of the 7% notes, we
     settled  our  $188.7 million forward-starting interest rate swap contracts,
     resulting  in  a  gain  of  $1.6  million.  These  swap  contracts had been
     designated  as  a  cash  flow  hedge  of  forecasted  interest payments for
     fixed-rate  notes to be issued in future periods, and accordingly, the gain
     will  be  amortized  over  the  life  of  the  7%  notes.

     On  July 26, 2001, the Company entered into eleven interest rate swaps with
     an  aggregate notional amount of $107.5 million that convert fixed interest
     payments  to variable interest payments at rates from 6.35% to 7.35%. These
     interest  rate  swaps  have  been  designated as fair value hedges. We have
     determined  that  these  contracts will be highly effective in limiting our
     risk  of  changes in the fair value of the fixed-rate notes attributable to
     changes  in  variable  interest  rates.

6.   INVESTMENTS  IN  REAL  ESTATE  JOINT  VENTURES

     WRI owns interests in 17 joint ventures or limited partnerships where we do
     not  exercise  financial  and  operating  control.  These  partnerships are
     accounted  for  under  the  equity  method  since WRI exercises significant
     influence.  Our  interests range from 20% to 75% and, with the exception of
     our  partnership  with American National Insurance Company ("AN") discussed
     further  below,  each  venture  owns  a  single real estate asset. Combined
     condensed  financial information of these ventures is summarized as follows

     Our  investment  in  real estate joint ventures, as reported on the balance
     sheets,  differs  from  our  proportionate  share  of  the  joint ventures'
     underlying  net  assets  due  to  basis  differentials which arose upon the
     transfer  of assets from WRI to the joint ventures. This basis differential
     which  totaled  $2.0  million  at  June  30,  2001  and  December 31, 2000,
     respectively,  is  depreciated over the useful lives of the related assets.

     Fees  earned  by WRI for the management of these joint ventures totaled, in
     millions,  $.1  and  $.07 for the quarters ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 and
     $.2  and  $.1  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2001  and  2000.

     In  1999,  we  entered into a limited partnership, Weingarten-Murphy, LTD.,
     which was formed to develop a shopping center in a suburb of Dallas. WRI is
     the  general  partner  and  owns  a  50%  interest  in  the  partnership.

     In December 1999, WRI sold seven industrial properties totaling 2.0 million
     square  feet to a limited partnership, AN/WRI PARTNERSHIP, LTD. in which we
     retained  20%  ownership.  WRI  serves as general partner. WRI loaned $41.4
     million to the partnership until August of 2000, at which time the loan was
     replaced with a ten-year non-recourse third party mortgage with an interest
     rate  of  8.1%.

     In  March  2000, WRI formed a strategic joint venture with an institutional
     investor  to  acquire  $200  million  of  real  estate assets using limited
     leverage.  Each asset purchase is made by a separate limited partnership in
     which  WRI has a 30% interest. As general partner in the joint venture, WRI
     is  responsible  for  the  acquisition  process,  as  well as, the on-going
     leasing  and  management  activities of the acquired properties, subject to
     limited  partner approval of significant transactions. Two shopping centers
     were  acquired  in  June  2000  and  one in August of 2000 under this joint
     venture  arrangement.  WRI  loaned these three partnerships an aggregate of
     $32.0  million  which  was  replaced with ten-year non-recourse third party
     mortgages  with  a  weighted  average  rate  of  7.8%.


7.   SEGMENT  INFORMATION

     The operating segments presented are the segments of WRI for which separate
     financial  information  is available and operating performance is evaluated
     regularly by senior management in deciding how to allocate resources and in
     assessing  performance.  WRI  evaluates  the  performance  of its operating
     segments  based  on  net operating income that is defined as total revenues
     less  operating  expenses  and  ad  valorem  taxes.

     The  shopping center segment is engaged in the acquisition, development and
     management  of  real  estate, primarily anchored neighborhood and community
     shopping  centers located in Texas, California, Louisiana, Arizona, Nevada,
     Arkansas,  New  Mexico,  Oklahoma,  Tennessee,  Kansas, Colorado, Missouri,
     Illinois, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina and Maine. The customer base
     includes  supermarkets,  drugstores  and other retailers who generally sell
     basic  necessity-type commodities. The industrial segment is engaged in the
     acquisition,  development  and  management  of  bulk  warehouses  and
     office/service  centers.  Its  properties  are located in Texas, Nevada and
     Tennessee,  and  the  customer  base  is  diverse.  Included in "Other" are
     corporate-related  items,  insignificant  operations and costs that are not
     allocated  to  the  reportable  segments.

8.   COMMON  SHARES  OF  BENEFICIAL  INTEREST

     On  January  29,  2001,  we  issued 4.5 million common shares of beneficial
     interest in a secondary public offering. In February 2001, the underwriters
     exercised  their  over-allotment option and purchased an additional 200,000
     shares.  Net proceeds of 188.1 million based on a price of $42.19 per share
     were  used  to  pay  down  the  amounts  outstanding under our $350 million
     revolving  line  of  credit.

     On May 7, 2001, we issued an additional 690,000 common shares of beneficial
     interest  in  a  secondary  public  offering. Net proceeds of $27.9 million
     based  on  a  price  of  $42.85  per  share  were  used to pay down amounts
     outstanding  under  our  $350  million  revolving  line of credit. Had this
     transaction  occurred on January 1, 2001, earnings per common share - basic
     and  earnings  per common share - diluted would have both decreased by $.02
     per  share.


9.   BANKRUPTCY  REMOTE  PROPERTIES

     On  April  2,  2001, we purchased 19 supermarket-anchored shopping centers,
     aggregating  2.5  million  square  feet, in California from Burnham Pacific
     Properties,  Inc. The purchase price for the properties was $277.5 million,
     including  the  assumption of approximately $132 million in debt secured by
     all  19  properties.  These  properties  are  located in the Sacramento/San
     Francisco  Bay  area  (13  properties)  and  in  the  Los Angeles area (six
     properties).

     These 19 properties having a net book value of approximately $276.8 million
     at June 30, 2001 (collectively the "Bankruptcy Remote Properties", and each
     a  "Bankruptcy  Remote  Property"), are wholly-owned by various "Bankruptcy
     Remote  Entities".  Each Bankruptcy Remote Entity is an indirect subsidiary
     of  the Company. The assets of each Bankruptcy Remote Entity, including the
     respective  Bankruptcy  Remote  Property  or  Properties owned by each, are
     owned  by  that  Bankruptcy  Remote  Entity  alone and are not available to
     satisfy  claims  that  any  creditor  may  have  against  the  Company, its
     affiliates,  or any other person or entity. No Bankruptcy Remote Entity has
     agreed to pay or make its assets available to pay creditors of the Company,
     any  of  its affiliates, or any other person or entity. Neither the Company
     nor any of its affiliates has agreed to pay or make its assets available to
     pay  creditors of any Bankruptcy Remote Entity (other than any agreement by
     a  Bankruptcy  Remote Entity to pay its own creditors). No affiliate of any
     Bankruptcy  Remote Entity has agreed to pay or make its assets available to
     pay  creditors  of  any  Bankruptcy  Remote  Entity.

     The  accounts  of  the  Bankruptcy  Remote  Entities  are included in WRI's
     consolidated  financial statements as WRI owns, indirectly, 100% of each of
     the  entities.  Additionally,  WRI,  through its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
     makes  all  day  to  day  operating and financial decisions with respect to
     these  properties,  subject to approval by the loan servicing agent for the
     certain  significant  transactions. WRI has the right to prepay the loan at
     any  time,  which  would  eliminate  all  encumbrances  and  restrictions.

10.  RESTATEMENT

     Subsequent  to  the  issuance  of  its financial statements for the six and
     three  months  ended  June  30, 2001 and 2000, WRI determined that 17 joint
     ventures or partnerships which had previously been consolidated should have
     been  accounted  for  under  the  equity method. The accompanying financial
     statements  have  been  restated  to  present  these  joint  ventures  and
     partnerships  on  the  equity  method.  The  restatement did not change net
     income  or  shareholders' equity. The effect of the restatement on specific
     line  items  on  the  statements  of  consolidated  income and consolidated
     balance  sheets  is  as  follows  (in  thousands):

PART  I
                              FINANCIAL INFORMATION


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF  OPERATIONS

WRI's  financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and
2000 have been restated as discussed in Note 10 to the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. The information included in the following discussion gives
effect  to  that  restatement.

The  following  discussion  should  be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial  statements  and notes thereto and the comparative summary of selected
financial  data  appearing  elsewhere  in  this  report.  Historical results and
trends  which  might  appear  should  not  be  taken  as  indicative  of  future
operations.

Weingarten Realty Investors owned and operated 224 anchored shopping centers, 55
industrial  properties,  one  multi-family  residential  property and one office
building  at  June 30, 2001.  Of WRI's 281 developed properties, 185 are located
in  Texas (including 98 in Houston and Harris County).  Our remaining properties
are  located  in  California  (19),  Louisiana  (13),  Arizona (12), Nevada (9),
Tennessee  (7), Arkansas (6), New Mexico (6), Kansas (5), Colorado (5), Oklahoma
(4),  Florida  (4),  Missouri (2), Illinois (1), North Carolina (1), Mississippi
(1)  and  Maine  (1).  WRI has 5,200 leases and 4,000 different tenants.  Leases
for  our  properties  range  from less than a year for smaller spaces to over 25
years  for  larger  tenants; leases generally include minimum lease payments and
contingent  rentals  for  payment of taxes, insurance and maintenance and for an
amount  based on a percentage of the tenants' sales.  The majority of our anchor
tenants  are  supermarkets, value-oriented apparel and discount stores and other
retailers,  which  generally  sell  basic  necessity-type  items.

CAPITAL  RESOURCES  AND  LIQUIDITY

WRI  anticipates  that  cash  flows  from  operating activities will continue to
provide  adequate  capital  for  all  dividend  payments in accordance with REIT
requirements.  Cash  on  hand,  borrowings under our existing credit facilities,
issuance  of  unsecured  debt and the use of project financing, as well as other
debt  and  equity  alternatives,  will  provide the necessary capital to achieve
growth.  Cash  flow  from  operating activities as reported in the Statements of
Consolidated  Cash  Flows  was $61.5 million for the first six months of 2001 as
compared  to  $56.9  million  for the same period of 2000.  The increase was due
primarily  to WRI's acquisition and new development programs and improvements in
the  performance  of  its  existing  portfolio  of  properties.

Our  Board  of  Trust Managers approved a quarterly dividend per common share of
$.79 for the second quarter of 2001.  Our dividend payout ratio on common equity
for  the second quarter of 2001 and 2000 was 69% and 71%, respectively, based on
funds  from  operations  for  the  applicable  period.

WRI  invested  $343.8  million for the acquisition of 25 shopping centers during
the  second  quarter.  On  April  2,  2001,  we  completed the acquisition of 19
supermarket-anchored  shopping  centers  in  California.  These  properties  are
located  in the Sacramento/San Francisco Bay area (13 properties) and in the Los
Angeles  area  (six  properties).  Anchor  merchants  include the market's major
supermarket  companies  such  as Ralph's (Kroger), Albertson's, Safeway, Raley's
and  Food  4 Less (Fleming Company).  Additionally, the properties include other
well-known  anchor retailers including Target, K-Mart, Home Depot and Walgreens.
These  properties  added  nearly  2.5  million  square  feet  to  the portfolio.

On  May  15, 2001, we acquired four supermarket-anchored shopping centers in the
Memphis, Tennessee market area.  Three of the centers are anchored by Kroger and
the  fourth  is  anchored  by  Seessel's  (owned  by Albertson's).  Other anchor
retailers  include Walgreen Drugs and Stein Mart.  These properties total nearly
617,000  square  feet  and  were  over  92%  leased in the aggregate.  With this
acquisition, WRI now owns eight properties totaling over 1.3 million square feet
in  the  Memphis  area.

On  June  6,  2001,  we  purchased  the  Venice Pines Shopping Center in Venice,
Florida,  our fourth property in the state of Florida.  This 97,000 square  foot
center  is anchored by Kash N Karry Supermarket and is 91% leased.


                                    Page 14




On  June  29,  2001,  we purchased Parkway Pointe Shopping Center in Cary, North
Carolina,  a  suburb  of  Raleigh.  Anchored  by Food Lion, Eckerd Drugs and Ace
Hardware,  the  center  was  95%  leased  upon  acquisition.

With  respect  to  new  development,  we  have  15  retail developments underway
including  three  joint  ventures with our development partner in Denver.  These
projects,  upon  completion,  will represent an investment of approximately $160
million  and  will  add  1.3 million square feet to the portfolio.  We expect to
invest  approximately  $84.0  million  in  these  properties during 2001.  These
projects  with  continue to come on-line during the second half of this year and
through  mid 2002.  Additionally, we commenced an $11 million redevelopment of a
shopping  center in Las Vegas which will include a new 220,000 square foot Super
Wal-Mart.

In  January,  we  issued  4.5  million common shares of beneficial interest in a
secondary  public  offering and an additional 200,000 shares in February, as the
underwriters  exercised  their  over-allotment  option.  Net  proceeds of $188.1
million,  based  on  a  price of $42.19 per share, were used to pay down amounts
outstanding  under  our  $350  million  revolving  line  of  credit.

On  May  7,  2001,  we  issued an additional 690,000 common shares of beneficial
interest in a secondary public offering.  Net proceeds of $27.9 million based on
a  price of $42.85 per share were used to pay down amounts outstanding under our
$350  million  revolving  line  of  credit.

Total  debt  outstanding  increased  to  $1.0 billion at quarter-end from $792.4
million at December 31, 2000.  This increase was primarily due to the funding of
the  Company's  acquisitions  and ongoing development and redevelopment efforts,
offset  by  the  use  of proceeds from the common equity offerings.  Included in
total debt outstanding of $1.0 billion at June 30, 2001 is variable-rate debt of
$268.2  million,  after recognizing the effect of $70.0 million of interest rate
swaps  and  $28.0  million of variable-rate notes receivables from joint venture
partners.

In  March 2001, we filed a $500 million shelf registration statement that can be
utilized  for  the  issuance  of  either  debt  or  equity  securities.  This
registration  statement  is  not  yet  effective.

Subsequent  to  June  30,  2001,  the Company completed two additional financing
transactions.  On  July  5,  2001,  we entered into a $50 million unsecured term
loan  with  two banks that also participate in our $350 million revolving credit
facility.  The  terms  of  the  $50  million loan are substantially identical to
those  of our $350 million revolving credit facility, and it also matures on the
same  date.  On  July  12,  2001, we sold $200 million of unsecured notes with a
coupon  of  7%.  Net  proceeds from the offering totaled $198.3 million and were
used  to  pay down amounts outstanding under our $350 revolving credit facility.
Concurrent  with  the  sale  of  the  7%  notes,  we  settled our $188.7 million
forward-starting  interest  rate  swap  contracts,  resulting  in a gain of $1.6
million.  These  swap  contracts  had  been  designated  as a cash flow hedge of
forecasted  interest  payments  for  fixed-rate  notes  to  be  issued in future
periods,  and  accordingly,  the  gain will be amortized over the life of the 7%
notes.

On  July  26,  2001, the Company entered into eleven interest rate swaps with an
aggregate notional amount of $107.5 million that convert fixed interest payments
to variable interest payments at rates from 6.35% to 7.35%.  These interest rate
swaps  have been designated as fair value hedges.  We have determined that these
contracts  will  be highly effective in limiting our risk of changes in the fair
value  of  the  fixed-rate  notes  attributable  to changes in variable interest
rates.

FUNDS  FROM  OPERATIONS

The  Board  of  Governors  of the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts  defines  funds  from  operations  (FFO) as net income (loss) computed in
accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting principles, excluding gains or
losses  from  sales  of  property,  plus  real  estate  related depreciation and
amortization,  and  after  adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures.  In  addition,  NAREIT  recommends  that  extraordinary  items  not be
considered  in arriving at FFO. We calculate FFO in a manner consistent with the
NAREIT  definition.  Most  industry  analysts  and  equity  REITS,  including


                                    Page 15




Weingarten,  believe  FFO  is  an appropriate measure of performance relative to
other  REITs.  FFO  provides  investors  with an understanding of our ability to
incur  and  service  debt,  make  capital  expenditures  and  pay  common  share
dividends.  There  can  be  no  assurance  that  FFO  presented by Weingarten is
comparable  to  similarly  titled  measures  of  other  REITs. FFO should not be
considered  as  an alternative to net income or other measurements under GAAP as
an  indicator  of  our  operating  performance  or to cash flows from operating,
investing,  or  financing  activities  as  a  measure of liquidity. FFO does not
reflect  working capital changes, cash expenditures for capital improvements, or
principal  payments  on  indebtedness.

Funds from operations - diluted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS
THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  JUNE  30,  2001

Net  income available to common shareholders increased to $21.0 million, or $.65
per  diluted share, from $15.0 million, or $.56 per diluted share for the second
quarter  of 2001 as compared with the same quarter of 2000.  The increase in net
income  available to common shareholders is due primarily from the growth in the
portfolio  from  acquisitions  and  new  development.  Also,  the  increase  is
attributable  to  a large lease cancellation, offset by a one-time adjustment to
administrative  expenses  in  2001  that  is  not  present  in  2000.

Rental  revenues  were  $77.0  million  in 2001, as compared to $59.8 million in
2000,  representing  an  increase  of  approximately $17.2 million or 28.8%.  Of
these  increases,  property  acquisitions  and new development contributed $16.2
million  in  2001, as compared to $5.9 million for the same period of 2000.  The
remaining  portion  of  these  increases  is  due  to  activity  at our existing
properties.  Occupancy  of the total portfolio was unchanged from the prior year
at  92.7%.  The  occupancy of the retail portfolio stood at 92.8% as compared to
92.7%  at  June  30,  2000,  while  the  occupancy  of  the industrial portfolio
decreased to 92.1% from 92.7% in the prior year.  During the first six months of
2001,  WRI  completed  422  renewals or new leases comprising 1.7 million square
feet  at an average rental rate increase of 10.2%.  Net of the amortized portion
of  capital  costs  for  tenant  improvements,  the  increased  averaged  6.9%.


                                    Page 16




Gross  interest  costs,  before  capitalization  of  interest, increased by $5.5
million from $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2000 to $16.9 million in the
second  quarter  of  2001.  The  increase is due primarily to an increase in the
average  debt outstanding between periods of $636.6 in 2000 to $962.6 million in
2001.  The  average  interest  rate decreased from 7.2% in 2000 to 7.0% in 2001.
The  amount  of interest capitalized during the period was $2.4 million and $1.0
million  in  2001  and  2000,  respectively.

General  and administrative expenses increased by $.7 million to $2.7 million in
the  second  quarter of 2001 from $2.0 million in the same quarter of 2000.  The
increase  is due primarily to an increase in staffing necessitated by the growth
in  the  portfolio from acquisitions and new development, as well as an increase
in  professional  fees  from  a  non-recurring adjustment of $.2 million in June
2001.

The  increases  in  depreciation  and  amortization,  operating  expenses and ad
valorem  taxes  were  primarily  the  result  of  WRI's  acquisitions  and  new
development  programs.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS
SIX  MONTHS  ENDED  JUNE  30,  2001

Net income available to common shareholders increased to $41.4 million, or $1.33
per  diluted  share,  from $29.4 million, or $1.10 per diluted share for the six
months  of  2001  as compared with the same period of 2000.  The increase in net
income  available to common shareholders is due primarily from the growth in the
portfolio  from acquisitions and new development, as well as a gain on the sales
of  property  of  $5.0  million  in  2001  that  is  absent  from  2000.

Rental  revenues  were  $143.5 million in 2001, as compared to $117.7 million in
2000,  representing  an  increase  of  approximately $25.8 million or 21.9%.  Of
these  increases,  property  acquisitions  and new development contributed $22.3
million  in 2001, as compared to $11.7 million for the same period of 2000.  The
remaining  portion  of  these  increases  is  due  to  activity  at our existing
properties.

Gross  interest  costs,  before  capitalization  of  interest, increased by $7.6
million  from  $22.1 million for the six months of 2000 to $29.7 million for the
six months of 2001.  The increase is due primarily to an increase in the average
debt  outstanding between periods of $614.1 million in 2000 to $829.1 million in
2001.  The  average  interest  rate remained unchanged at 7.2% in 2001 and 2000.
The  amount  of interest capitalized during the period was $4.3 million and $1.6
million  in  2001  and  2000,  respectively.

General  and  administrative  expenses increased by $1.2 million to $5.1 million
for  the  six months of 2001 from $3.9 million for the same period of 2000.  The
increase  is due primarily to an increase in staffing necessitated by the growth
in  the  portfolio from acquisitions and new development, as well as an increase
in  professional  fees  from  a  non-recurring adjustment of $.2 million in June
2001.

The  increases  in  depreciation  and  amortization,  operating  expenses and ad
valorem  taxes  were  primarily  the  result  of  WRI's  acquisitions  and  new
development  programs.

NEWLY  ADOPTED  ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENTS

On  January  1,  2001,  WRI  adopted  SFAS  No.  133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities,"  as  amended.  SFAS  No. 133 establishes
accounting  and  reporting  standards  for derivative instruments.  Specifically
SFAS No. 133 requires an entity to recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  and  to  measure those
instruments at fair value.  Additionally, the fair value adjustments will affect
either  shareholders'  equity  or net income depending on whether the derivative
instruments  qualifies as a hedge for accounting purposes and, if so, the nature
of  the  hedging  activity.

WRI  hedges  the  future  cash  flows  of  debt transactions principally through
interest  rate  swaps  with major financial institutions.  WRI has four interest
rate  swap  contracts  with  an  aggregate  notional  amount of $70 million that
convert  variable  interest  payments  to  fixed interest payments at rates from


                                    Page 17




6.80%  to  7.87%.  These  swaps  have  been  designated and qualify as cash flow
hedges.  We  have  determined  these  swap  agreements  are  highly effective in
offsetting  future variable interest cash flows of the related debt instruments.
As of January 1, 2001, the adoption of the new standard resulted in a cumulative
transition adjustment of $1.9 million to accumulated other comprehensive income,
a  component  of shareholders' equity, and a corresponding liability of the same
amount.  For the six months ended June 30, 2001, the change in fair market value
of  our  interest  rate  swaps  was $1.0 million and was recorded in accumulated
other  comprehensive  income.

On  June  25,  2001,  WRI  entered  into two forward-starting interest rate swap
contracts  with  a notional amount of $188.7 million.  These contracts have been
designated  and qualify as cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments.  We
have  determined  these  contracts  are  highly  effective  in offsetting future
variable  interest  cash  flows  of  fixed-rate debt instruments to be issued in
future  periods.  For  the  six  months  ended June 30, 2001, the change in fair
market  value  of  our  forward-starting  interest  rate swap contracts was $3.8
million  and  was  recorded  in accumulated other comprehensive income and other
assets.

We do not anticipate any material reclassifications to earnings from accumulated
other  comprehensive  income  over  the  next  12  months.

In  July  2000,  the  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force  of the Financial Accounting
Standards  Board  reached  a  consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-1,"Investor Balance
Sheet  and  Income  Statement Display under the Equity Method for Investments in
Certain  Partnerships  and  Other  Ventures."  This  consensus requires that the
proportionate  share  method  of  presenting  balance sheet and income statement
information  for  partnerships  and  other ventures in which entities have joint
interest  and control be discontinued, except in limited circumstances.  WRI was
required  to conform with the guidance provided in this Issue effective December
31,  2000.  Accordingly,  the  consolidated financial statements for all periods
of the prior year presented  in this  Form  10-Q  have  been restated to conform
with the revised presentation.

QUANTITATIVE  AND  QUALITATIVE  DISCLOSURE  ABOUT  MARKET  RISK

WRI  uses  fixed  and  floating-rate  debt  to finance its capital requirements.
These  transactions  expose  WRI  to  market risk related to changes in interest
rates.  Derivative  financial  instruments  are used to manage a portion of this
risk, primarily interest rate swap agreements with major financial institutions.
These  swap agreements expose WRI to credit risk in the event of non-performance
by  the  counter-parties  to  the  swaps.  We  do  not  engage in the trading of
derivative  financial instruments in the normal course of business.  At June 30,
2001, WRI had fixed-rate debt of $707.2 million and variable-rate debt of $268.2
million,  after  adjusting  for the effect of $70 million of interest rate swaps
and  $28.0  million  of  variable-rate  notes  receivables  from  joint  venture
partners.
