[3] The demographic profile of Damansara Jaya is characterized as predominantly Malaysian Chinese, with a significant number of upper middle-class property owners.

[5][6][7] Damansara Jaya underwent development in the mid-1970s under the purview of Paramount Garden, a subsidiary of See Hoy Chan Sdn Bhd Group.

Subsequently, in the latter part of the decade, Section SS22A was incorporated into Damansara Jaya, primarily consisting of bungalows and semi-detached homes.

[4] Construction activities commenced in 1975, and by 1978, the first occupants of Damansara Jaya settled into their newly completed double-storey terraced houses.

[citation needed] The Atria, a shopping complex in Damansara Jaya, was originally built in the mid-1980s and featured departmental stores like Kimisawa and Printemps.

The existing complex was demolished in 2011 and the new development, known as Atria Shopping Gallery, reopened in 2015 with significantly more retail space and parking bays.

In terms of recent residential property additions, OCR Land Holdings constructed four units of three-storey bungalows named Cloverton between 2012 and 2014, representing the latest housing development in Damansara Jaya.

The primary commercial development in Damansara Jaya is the Atria, encompassing a freehold land area of 236,806 sq ft (22,000.0 m2).

Originally intended to accommodate a cinema, Atria began its operations in the mid-1980s with the opening of the Kimisawa and Printemps departmental stores.

[3][4] During the period between 1984 and 1985, traffic congestion became a common occurrence in Damansara Jaya, particularly on weekends when both the Japanese and French stores held sales promotions.

Consequently, the former Kimisawa location was rebranded as the Parkson Grand departmental store, while Printemps underwent a transformation into the Atria Shopping Centre.

The new owners made a decision to allocate additional space for redevelopment, resulting in the displacement of numerous longstanding tenants occupying mini shop-lots near the supermarket.

At the time, the ground floor stores at Atria remained operational, with its courtyard continued to house various traders offering a range of merchandise, including books and clothing.

[8] In early 2008, OSK Property Holdings Bhd proposed to redevelop the Atria into a 33-storey office tower with a 4-level retail podium and a 3+1⁄2 level basement car park.

[4] In January 2009, OSK proposed to redevelop the property into a more upmarket retail and commercial destination for residents of Petaling Jaya.

[4] On 14 April 2010, OSK Property announced at a company shareholders meeting that the development order had been endorsed and that the redeveloped Atria would feature a four-storey podium, two 18-storey towers, and an increase in parking facilities with over 2,000 bays available.

[16] The Language House departed from its Atria premises on 22 October, and subsequently re-commenced operations at Damansara Intan on 8 November.

On 6 July 2012, OSK Property further announced that the company had appointed Beijing Urban Construction Group (M) Sdn Bhd as the main contractor for the project.

These tournaments include the national Tan Sri Datuk Wira Abdul Rahman Arshad Cup (2001, 2003, 2008), Taylor's College Annual Inter-School Debate Competition (2000, 2002, 2005, 2006) and HELP University College's Tan Sri Paduka Dr Saleha Debate Cup (2004, 2006, 2008).

[2] The DJROA had its beginnings in October 1993, when residents grouped together to successfully address local authority plans to have a night market at the then dead-end road of Jalan SS22/43.

This community centre was officially opened on 15 December 2005 by Dato' Seri Ong Ka Ting, then the Malaysian Minister of Housing and Local Government.

The DJROA has participated in the United Nations-sponsored Local Agenda 21 programme under the auspices of the Petaling Jaya City Council.

On 1 November 2009, the New Covenant Church commenced services on the 3rd Floor of the Atria in the space which used to be the rear portion of the Big Bookshop.
