Caliber, a diversified real estate and digital asset management platform, announced that its joint venture development, PURE Pickleball & Padel Construction Documents are complete, submitted, and accepted for review by Salt River Pima–Maricopa Indian Community (SRP-MIC) on September 12, 2025. The milestone marks the start of PURE’s building permitting process, the final step before construction begins on the 196,726-square-foot facility, which is expected to take about 15 months.
PURE has chosen DAVIS, a Phoenix-based architectural firm, to design a unique indoor facility and state-of-the-art venue for players and spectators to gather and enjoy pickleball and padel year-round. It will combine a professional arena, community courts, and country club amenities including a restaurant and bar, pro shop, and private VIP areas.
PURE selected RICK in Phoenix for engineering, planning, landscape architecture, and land surveying services. Jeff Hunt, PE, Associate Principal at RICK, expressed enthusiasm about supporting the engineering team for a 200,000 sq. ft. sports and entertainment facility expecting around 500,000 annual visitors.
PURE Pickleball & Padel™ is developing an 11+ acre site in the Riverwalk Development Project located in the Talking Stick Entertainment District, a 100-acre site adjacent to Scottsdale. PURE will be a world-class pickleball and padel facility and pro arena and seeks to claim the title of the largest indoor pickleball and padel facility in the world. The 196,726 square feet state-of-the-art facility will boast a 1,200-seat pro arena, 40 indoor pickleball courts, 8 indoor padel courts, sports performance and recovery fitness center by HonorHealth™, restaurant and bar by Wolfgang Puck Catering, pro shop, locker rooms and spa, special event spaces, rooftop patio and bar, meeting spaces, childcare and other amenities.
Chris Loeffler, CEO of Caliber, said, “We are excited by the continued progress that is being made to realize the vision for PURE Pickleball & Padel™ as a premier destination for the sport’s enthusiasts and a lifestyle development that improves the lives of the people in the community.”
For developing PURE, Caliber created the Pickleball at Riverwalk Fund, a single asset offering designed to invest in real estate, land sublease, and business operations. This offering is active and allows for direct investment from accredited investors as well as qualified opportunity zone funds (QOFs) seeking to allocate capital to a potentially attractive qualified opportunity zone business (QOZB). Caliber has designed the offering for broad participation, seeking Pickleball & Padel enthusiasts who are looking for exposure to the two fastest growing sports in the United States and the World.
