Women + Wealth: Regions Bank launches enhanced program to support the financial journeys of women
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Jan. 3, 2024 –Regions Bank on Wednesday announced the launch of Women + Wealth, an innovative program that combines unique events and fresh insights with one-on-one guidance from a team of professionals to further support and empower women as they move forward on their financial journeys.
An initiative of Regions Private Wealth Management, the Women + Wealth program debuts at a time when more women in a diverse range of households are making more investment and financial planning decisions.
“This is about listening to clients, meeting them where they are, and delivering more strategic insights designed to help them reach their own, unique financial objectives,” said Leslie Carter-Prall, head of Regions Private Wealth Management. “Regions has always taken a customized approach toward meeting clients’ goals. Women + Wealth is the latest extension of that commitment as our advisors deliver more tailored guidance and solutions.”
Regions’ Women + Wealth program builds on the foundation established by the bank’s previous HerVision HerLegacy initiative – and it is expanding to provide more access to key insights for all women, no matter their age, needs or goals. Women + Wealth is led by Regions advisors, known as Women + Wealth Champions, who will work one-on-one with current Wealth Management clients, as well as Regions’ Commercial Banking and Consumer Banking clients, to deliver more timely advice, guidance and resources women can implement in making key financial decisions.
Currently, resources are available through Wealth Insights on Regions.com. There, people can access a variety of content to help them build, protect and preserve their wealth. Specialized content for women is also available with articles focusing on topics such as women and philanthropy, podcast episodes covering topics such as overcoming barriers to financial confidence, and more. Additional examples of Women + Wealth content include:
Articles that provide money-management insights for women in their 20s and 30s, actionable steps to create a wealth plan, and information on how to build a family legacy.
The program offers career insights, as well. These include financial considerations for women business owners, suggestions on ways women can ask for a raise, and an in-depth look at the value of a mentor.
These digital insights are available to anyone, regardless of whether they’re a client of Regions Private Wealth Management.

Capital Square Acquires Tennessee Build-for-Rent Townhome Community for DST Offering
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 03, 2024) - Capital Square, one of the nation’s leading sponsors of tax-advantaged real estate investments and an active developer and manager of multifamily communities, announced today the acquisition of Summit Townhomes, a newly constructed 120-unit build-for-rent (BFR) housing community in Knoxville, Tennessee. The community was acquired on behalf of CS1031 Summit Place BFR Housing, DST, which seeks to raise $18 million in equity from accredited investors and has a minimum investment of $50,000.
Capital Square formed the Private Equity Group managed by experienced real estate executives, Dave Platter and Jon Trott, as managing directors and co-heads, to profit from opportunities in the housing market, including a dedicated build-for-rent strategy in high growth sunbelt markets. This represents Capital Square’s fourth BFR offering for the Section 1031/DST program, and the seventh BFR project for the private equity group.
“Capital Square’s private equity group is a high-performing team with top-tier executives who are focused on housing strategies, including BFR,” said Louis Rogers, founder and co-chief executive officer of Capital Square. “This will be one of the largest BFR platforms in the nation. We have previously reported that Capital Square has secured its first institutional partner for the BFR strategy and has now closed on the seventh BFR community, Summit Townhomes, for the DST program.”
Located at 100 Lisa’s Way, construction of Summit Townhomes was completed in 2022. The mix of three- and four-bedroom townhomes average over 1,400 square feet with open floor plans, marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, full size washer and dryers, walk-in closets, smart home integration and extra storage space. Community amenities include a firepit, picnic and barbecue area, private and overflow parking, covered gazebo and bark park.
The property is in close proximity to State Route 62, providing residents with easy access to top employers, such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Y-12 National Security Complex, UT-Battelle, Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge and Oak Ridge Schools. Summit Townhomes is served by Woodland Elementary School, Robertsville Middle School and Oak Ridge High School, all within a two-mile radius of the property.
Summit Townhomes is under a 30-minute drive from downtown Knoxville. The Knoxville MSA has a population of 747,185 and is projected to increase by 3.6% over the next five years.1 The University of Tennessee plays a significant role in Knoxville’s economy. With iconic landmarks like Neyland Stadium, with a seating capacity of 100,000+, university sports events generate meaningful revenue for local businesses. Moreover, the university employs more than 11,700 people who focus on research, educational programs and partnerships that contribute to the city’s overall economic growth.
“Knoxville is an attractive and promising real estate market, offering a combination of affordability, a stable rental market driven by universities and government employment, steady economic growth and a favorable income tax policy,” said Whitson Huffman, co-chief executive officer. “The property has already seen strong performance, accomplishing full lease-up in nine months with 98% current physical occupancy.”
Since its founding in 2012, Capital Square has acquired 170 real estate assets for over 6,500 investors seeking quality replacement properties that qualify for tax deferral under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and other investors seeking stable cash flow and capital appreciation.
