Our Founder

Darryl S. Rogers founded International Development Company in 1980, with the focus on developing, building, and managing industrial real estate properties.

From an early age, Darryl became interested in real estate ownership/management from learning and working beside his father, Denny Rogers. With this interest, Darryl attended Michigan State University (1978-1980), graduating with a degree in Building/ Construction and utilized his education to obtain licenses as a Real Estate Broker/ Builder.

From 1980-1985, Darryl worked to build International Development Company from the ground up by first acquiring existing real estate, providing leasing and management services throughout the industrial/commercial markets. Beginning in 1986, Darryl took the next step with the planning, construction and development of Belden Industrial Park consisting of approximately 600,000 SF with (30) industrial lots ranging in building sizes from 7,000 sf and larger. That phase, culminated in the personal oversite of planning, developing, and constructing of more than approximately 1,000,000 SF over 40+ years.

Darryl S. Rogers passed away in November 2021. Darryl was a very unique and special human being. He was a true family man who cherished, first and foremost, the time he spent with his wife, sons and grandkids. As a father, he was always present and available and made it a point to instill in his sons the importance of hard work, reaching their goals, and that nothing/nobody was more important than family. Darryl was a devoted friend to many. He touched people’s lives in a way that was unforgettable and a true inspiration to all who knew him.

Darryl’s legacy lives on forever in International Development Company.
