Plaintiff/Lender: Metropolitan Commercial BankDefendant/Borrower: Aryeh Realty LLC

Metropolitan Commercial Bank won a $46.24 million final judgment against Aryeh Realty and asked a Kansas court for a sheriff's sale of the long-vacant former Mission Mall site in Mission, Kansas.

Metropolitan Commercial Bank, which sued Aryeh Realty LLC (a subsidiary of New York-based Cameron Group) for defaulting on a 2019 loan, obtained a final judgment of more than $46 million from Johnson County District Court Judge Robert Wonnell on October 2, 2026, ordering the long-vacant Mission Gateway site in Mission, Kansas sold at a sheriff's sale. After Aryeh failed to pay off the judgment by an October 16 deadline, the bank's attorneys filed papers on October 28 asking the court to proceed with the sheriff's sale.

Why it matters

The case shows how a lender's foreclosure judgment against a stalled redevelopment site still requires a separate redemption deadline, a sheriff's-sale request, an auction, and court confirmation before a new owner takes title -- a process that can stretch years beyond the original loan default. It also illustrates the risk to municipalities and prospective buyers who line up redevelopment deals contingent on a property still working through someone else's foreclosure docket, as Mission has done with its tentative agreement with R.H. Johnson Company.
