Ralph van der Walle sued for $906,225

On June 9, 2025 it was revealed Ralph van der Walle’s builder/contractor, Saywell Contracting Ltd. is suing him for $906,225 plus costs.


Ralph van der Walle tried to sell ‘sold out’ condos at 9022 Clarkson Avenue in Black Creek on Vancouver Island through his Western Canada Monthly Income Fund (https://wcmif.ca) for years. C4 was first listed for $859,900 by Saba Realty in 2021. “Presale assignment opportunity in sold out Beach House at Saratoga. Vancouver Island’s fastest selling waterfront community.” Unit C4 is still for sale today for $895,000. Clearly the shitboxes have never changed hands and Ralph van der Walle failed to pay his bills. https://www.easy-invest.ca/

In January agent Viet Do viet@vietdo.ca was involved. Agent Kirsten Marten kirsten@martenhomes.ca, the owner of CB Oceanside has also been agent in 2025, despite being banned from acting as agent for the project.

Ralph van der Walle’s lawyer Sanjeev Patro came up with “impugning the integrity and bona fides of the plaintiff”. Here.

Today units 4, 5, 6, 12, 14, 19 and 22, are for sale. Unit 14 has been for sale for $1.5m since day 1. Ralph van der Walle has tried to sell units 4, 6, 12, 14, 23, 26 and 28 on MLS, all, according to him, were ‘sold out’. He failed, probably because the wood frame shitboxes with TC-1 zoning are grossly over priced. Strata Fees alone are a whooping $463/mo. https://wcmif.ca/

Ralph van der Walle is soliciting for live ones for his latest sure thing ‘PORTAL Maple Ridge’ at crowdfunding platform Addy Invest. He has been lying about that project, which he also has virtually zero equity in, for 2 years. The criminals at Addy Invest were spanked for a $100k fine by the BCSC for fraudulently abusing the ‘crowdfunding’ securities exemption.

The plan for the very remote area was 29 units and 1 ‘caretaker unit’. Major issue is TC-1 zoning, which mandates a maximum 6 month occupancy per year.

The 30 units of the ‘Beach House at Saratoga’ are drawing water from Black Creek watershed, and water is severely limited. In order to mitigate draw, cisterns for water storage were required. Sewage is septic drainage. The area doesn’t have infrastructure for high density development and this project should never have been built. Condos are 10 to 15 feet above ground and stairs are the only option.

Beach House at Saratoga General Partner Inc. was incorporated Aug 17, 2017. Land was purchased from 1069585 B.C. Ltd. (Ralph van der Walle) for $1.5m (a $450k markup) Construction cost some $13m.

Ralph van der Walle never had any equity in this white elephant, and he had 2 foreclosures in his past. This was a scamjob from Day 1 and that is precisely what came to pass.

Spotting con artists is never rocket science, and Ralph van der Walle proves this. His stench can be detected a mile away.

His latest scam is ‘PORTAL, Maple Ridge‘. 11577 223 St. “The Fund secured a 0.56-acre riverfront site in 2023. Land acquisition 2023: $6,350,000” The ground is owned by another and the deposit was around $1m. After many failed promises it is still an empty lot.
