A lender could take back the planned site of Camp Pickle in Centennial.

The upstart pickleball concept had planned to mesh the sport with retail and food service at 7040 S. Kenton St., just a stone’s throw from the Centennial Airport. But earlier this year, BusinessDen reported that the site was for sale and plans were scrapped.

Last week, the property’s lender, Easterlima Development LLP, initiated foreclosure proceedings.

Camp Pickle purchased the 5-acre Centennial lot for $3.3 million in May 2024 from Easterlima, which financed the deal with a $2.3 million loan at 10% interest that was to mature one year later. Camp Pickle failed to pay it off, public records show.

Lawyers and a representative for Easterlima did not return requests for comment.
