Our culture
Idem is a boutique real estate investment firm, founded by entrepreneur Patrick David, that specializes in providing real estate services to Life Sciences and Technology companies.
The firm is at the forefront of best practices in the design and implementation of technical facilities.
Our team is actively listening to the needs of its clients, and our approach is imbued with respect and humility. We constantly aspire to the highest standards of excellence.
We like to say that we are different because, in our opinion, the best business decision is not always the most profitable in the short term.
Integrity, transparency and the pursuit of excellence guide our decisions and actions at all times. It is a matter of principle, a constant commitment.
Establishing quality relationships with our business partners and clients is at the heart of our daily lives and the culture of the Company. That is why we continue.
Our vision
The creation of Idem results from the commitment of its founder Patrick David to the development of innovative real estate solutions enabling technology companies to explore new horizons and engage in the digital revolution.
Actively involved in the data center industry since 2003, Patrick David is the ideator and developer of several major data centers that are now essential in the daily lives of millions of Canadians.
Managing Partner
Patrick David has been a successful business leader in the technology sector and, in 2013, founded COLO-D, a leading Canadian data center developer, owner and operator.
In less than five years, COLO-D became the Canadian leader in data centers for international cloud players and large corporations.
The company was part of Deloitte’s prestigious Technology Fast 50™ program in 2018, ranking first in Quebec and third in Canada. COLO-D also ranked 11th in Deloitte’s overall Technology Fast 500™ ranking for North America, with revenue growth of 10,942% between 2014 and 2018.
The company was sold in December 2018 to Cologix, a company owned by Stonepeak Infrastructure Partners, for $360 million.
Patrick studied law at the University of Montreal (LL.B) and accounting at the Université du Québec à Montréal (B.A.A.). He began his career as an analyst and advisor for organizations such as the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec.
