Previously developed from a palm estate holding of FELDA within the locale of Bukit Cherakah, this township started its initial development during the late 1990s under the management of Bukit Cherakah Development Sdn. Bhd., a private company based in Shah Alam. Puncak Alam Housing Sdn. Bhd. later took over in 2001 as the principal developer of this township. There are 3 phases in the township, Phase 1 in the southern part (Section 1-6 but only Section 2 is existing), Phase 2 in the middle (Seksyen 7-9), Phase 3 in the north (Seksyen 12-13) and the Alam Suria at the northwest, which also known as Shah Alam 2.

First launched with an estimated total area of 14,000 acres (57 km²) for the whole township, subsequent development sees the actual land parcel being apportioned and jointly developed with third-party developers, resulting in the emergence of sub-townships within the vicinity under new names and concepts (such as Alam Perdana, Alam Jaya, Sinar Alam, Ambang Suria, Alam Suria, Eco Grandeur, LBS Alam Perdana, Hillpark), whilst the initially earmarked land area for Puncak Alam being significantly reduced in size.
