WCMIF’s Trust affairs are directed by the Fund Trustees, currently Mr. R. van der Walle, Mr. G. Rudman and Mr. J.

For each development project a team of professionals is assembled consisting of architects, engineers, general contractors, construction management, marketing & sales.
WCMIF maintains long standing relationships with leading law firms in the fields of securities laws, construction law and civil law.
Real estate investing has created vast amounts of wealth for global investors for many decades.
Long the realm of only the wealthy, we created WCMIF to enable everyone to participate in the ongoing opportunity of this wealth creation that Canada provides.
Canada faces a crisis: Housing affordability and availability.
According to CMHC reports, Canada will be more than 3.5 million dwellings behind where it needs to be by the year 2030.
WCMIF enables you to use your savings to help create these much-needed homes. You receive a solid return on your investments while fellow Canadians receive a new home.
We invest in our own, local real estate projects and hire local people to bring them to reality, improving our own backyard through economic activity and real estate developments.
We call it common-sense investing.
I invite you to join us.
