The development we know today as Highland Palms Senior Estates & Country Club, Inc. was the dream of two brothers from Iran, Sauid and Lofallah Halimi, who began thinking about developing the 140-acre plot in 1960. However, it wasn’t until 1968 that they were finally able to start designing the project, initially named Highland Palms Mobile Estates, under the umbrella of another development they were pursuing in Nevada, Tyrolian Village, Inc.
