Mesa-based ZenniHome LLC filed Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware the day before a scheduled Maricopa County Superior Court hearing on a receivership application, a move that immediately halted efforts to place the company's assets under independent control.
Indigenous Design Studio + Architecture LLC had filed suit against ZenniHome earlier this year alleging misuse of $22 million in federal funds related to a modular housing project. As part of that litigation, Indigenous Design Studio sought appointment of an independent receiver to take possession and control of ZenniHome's assets, records, accounts and financial information. The receivership hearing was set in Maricopa County Superior Court; ZenniHome's bankruptcy filing, made the preceding day, blocks those proceedings.
Thomas Gilson, partner and co-chair of the litigation department for Rose Law Group PC and unconnected to the lawsuit, told KTAR that the bankruptcy filing blocks the ongoing receivership effort.
The financial distress at ZenniHome predates the Indigenous Design Studio lawsuit. A public UCC Article 9 auction notice published by DailyDAC shows ZenniHome LLC borrowed $5,000,000 under a Loan Agreement dated September 30, 2024, from a lender originally identified as Pasadena Private Lending, Inc. That loan was amended December 30, 2024, and the current secured party is listed as NZ Snowflake Lending, LLC. ZenniHome defaulted on its obligations, and a public auction of its collateral was scheduled for December 30, 2025, in Scottsdale. Qualified bidders were required to provide a minimum immediate payment of $500,000 at auction conclusion.
The Phoenix Business Journal and ABC15 both reported the bankruptcy filing independently. The ZenniHome bankruptcy case is pending in the District of Delaware; the Maricopa County Superior Court receivership proceedings remain stayed.
