NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Highgate, the premier global real estate investment and hospitality management company, announces its receivership and loan resolution capabilities with the formation of a dedicated team that brings decades of expertise as court-appointed receivers and operators for hotels with distressed assets requiring lender involvement. The platform will be led by industry veterans Richard Millard and Joseph Klam.
“Our team brings unparalleled experience to complex assets across all hospitality verticals and unique market situations, providing thorough counsel and execution throughout the process,” said Richard Millard, Managing Director at Highgate. “In every stage of the asset lifecycle, we are a trusted partner to lenders, owners and other interested parties in recovering lost value and stabilizing properties.”
Highgate, through its affiliates, has developed a workout process that supports the asset as a result of having been both the receiver and operator for numerous banks, special services agencies, lenders, and federal agencies.

A dedicated team including accounting, payroll, insurance, compliance, engineering, human resources, and sales and marketing carefully works with local teams to manage, preserve and maximize property value.
In addition to Highgate’s proprietary revenue management technology and distribution services, its global buying power and centralized purchasing system help to secure best-in-class pricing on products and services, while its institutional accounting platform navigates complex finances and legal compliance.
