Our History

Intro to history section

Himalaya Homes brings with it a highly unique value proposition. An intergenerational business started in 1979 by Zak and Chitra Parpia, immigrants of Bombay, India, now to be passed into the hands of their 3 children, 1 of whom will be running the company – it embodies the American Dream. The uniqueness in our value proposition exists not only in our very DNA as a business, but also in what we can do and what drives us. We are a business with expertise in fields of property management, land acquisition and homebuilding, but we are also focused on building affordable homes, leveraging technology to better serve the community, and overall making the Puget Sound more livable.
