Developing Better Environments for People

2025 is a banner year for IDI as we mark 50 years of positive impact on the Washington metro region and beyond. It’s a history shaped by the vision of our founder, Giuseppe Cecchi, and by his commitment to enhancing the lives of all those who would experience IDI’s landmark buildings, homes, hotels and communities. As we embark on the next 50 years, we move forward with a new generation of leadership that embodies the same dedication to excellence and the same focus on our core principles of integrity, vision, innovation and quality.

The IDI portfolio includes more than 12,000 condominiums, 2.7 million sq. ft. of commercial office and retail space, 1,400 hotel rooms, 1,000 single family homes, and 2,400 acres of land development for residential construction. IDI pioneered the development of active adult living with the Leisure World communities in Maryland and Virginia, and has been acclaimed for converting 3,000 high-rise and garden units into workforce affordable homes.

Watermark, IDI’s boutique waterfront condominium on the Potomac in Old Town Alexandria, was named Best Boutique Condominium Community in the entire Baltimore-Washington region by Delta Associates as part of their Annual Apartment and Condominium Industry Awards for Excellence.
