The township was developed by Sime Darby Property, the property development arm of the Malaysian conglomerate,Read more
Sime Darby Berhad. The 920 acres (3.7 km2) township is planned based on the “Denai” concept which is 4.8 km of landscaped footpaths for pedestrians and non-motorised vehicles. The Denai concept was inspired by traditional Malay kampong communal living and a low-density development of 8 units per acre. The Denai Alam development was awarded the 2003 Planning Innovation Award by the Malaysian Institute of Planners.
Denai Alam is also notable for distressing traffic jam during peak hours every day due to terrible traffic planning at the exit heading towards the Petaling Jaya direction on Persiaran Elektron. This was partly due to mis-planned crossroads with prolonged traffic lights sessions and growing number of residents, which implies high traffic volume.
