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.
A development plan dated 9 September 2008 released by Kuala Selangor Municipal Council (MPKS), the local authority responsible for the administration of the Kuala Selangor district, among others, disclosed that future expansion for this township would include the completion of a Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) by the year 2014, on an area demarcated of 1,085.75 acres (4.3939 km2), comprising 15 faculties capable of supporting 41,000 students and staffs. The same report projected that 65,798 additional units of houses/residences would be completed by the year 2015, capable of accommodating 350,000 population as compared to the current reported population of 25,000.
The latest Local Planning Masterplan for the year 2015 released by MPKS envision the addition of a water theme park and also a Light Rail Transit facility (linking Bestari Jaya, Puncak Alam and Shah Alam).
