  ## History
  
  IDI was established in 1989 in Atlanta by Henry "Greg" Gregory and a few partners, including former president and chief executive officer Timothy Gunter. The company started with $35 million in investments from Japan-based parent company, Kajima, and a bridge loan from First Union National Bank, now Wells Fargo. IDI was one of the first companies to approach industrial development from a national standpoint to meet customers' needs.
  
  In 2013, IDI was acquired by Brookfield Asset Management (BAM). In 2014, IDI and Gazeley, a European industrial real estate company, were co-branded by Brookfield as IDI Gazeley Brookfield Logistics Properties.
  
  In 2017, Gazeley was sold and IDI is now known as IDI Logistics.
  
  In 2018, IDI Logistics was sold to Ivanhoé Cambridge and Oxford Properties in a 50-50 joint venture partnership agreement.
