A planned workforce housing project for Sunday River Resort<\/a>, Maine, has become the subject of a lawsuit, with developer High Tide Capital LLC alleging the resort backed out of a long-term lease agreement just weeks before the first apartments were scheduled to open.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the struggles ski resorts have been facing for years is trying to find a solution to provide housing for their seasonal employees.<\/strong> Sunday River Resort is no exception and has been seeking to alleviate the problem through a workforce housing property development in Rumford. The resort had planned an $11 million redevelopment across two downtown properties, including six apartments and a 55-bed workforce housing facility, in partnership with developer High Tide Capital.<\/p>\n

High Tide Capital now claims that in October 2025, just days before the six units were to be ready for occupancy, and with High Tide ready to acquire a building permit for the workforce housing project, Sunday River backed out of the agreement.<\/strong> According to the lawsuit, High Tide Capital is seeking compensation for monetary damages it has sustained. The company works with communities to rehabilitate historic buildings like those two properties in Rumford\u2019s downtown.<\/p>\n
