The township was developed by Sime Darby Property, the property development arm of the Malaysian conglomerate, 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 Malaykampong 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.
The MRT feeder bus route T772 from MRT Kwasa Sentral station (previously RapidKL bus route T772 from Subang Airport) serve the Denai Alam commercial centre. Aside from that the SA10 bus route know has several bus stops in Denai Alam, allowing access to several secondary schools, namely, SMK Bukit Jelutong and SMK Kampung Melayu Subang.
