NEW YORK CITY-Highgate Holdings and private equity firm Rockpoint Group said Tuesday they had closed on the acquisition of the 1,300-key Milford Plaza Hotel, a deal first reported in late September. A source familiar with the deal tells GlobeSt.com that a New York Post report Tuesday pegging the value of the acquisition at $230 million, higher than earlier estimates, is “in the ballpark.”
