Genting Citra carried out the construction on leasehold land from 2005 to 2006. The area earmarked for this development was previously covered by secondary jungle. This development is a gated community situated behind SK Damansara Jaya, a national type primary school.

The primary commercial development in Damansara Jaya is the Atria, encompassing a freehold land area of The complex consisted of a four level shopping complex and two parking buildings with three levels each. Originally intended to accommodate a cinema, Atria began its operations in the mid 1980s with the opening of the Kimisawa and Printemps departmental stores. OSK had apparently obtained updated approval from MBPJ to demolish the existing development and to construct in its place two 15 storey office blocks, a 4 storey podium incorporating a shopping mall, 2 levels of underground car park, and 4 levels of multi storey car park. On 26 July, the Language House remained operating at the Atria due to a dispute involving the tenancy agreement between the Language House and OSK. The Language House departed from its Atria premises on 22 October, and subsequently re commenced operations at Damansara Intan on 8 November. Development signage put up in August 2011 indicated that the Atria would be demolished over a 6 months period. By then, the Atria complex, except for small section as access to the Language House, had been enclosed by metal hoardings. The initial loss of use of both the Atria multi storey car parks had a significant impact on the availability of street parking bays. The car park building at the Atria main entrance was demolished by early September, followed by the demolition of the other car park building by mid October.

The first phase to be completed was the four storey podium shopping mall, while the remaining developments were targeted for completion by the end of 2013. This Atria redevelopment faced protests from Damansara Jaya residents. On 28 May 2015, the Atria was reopened. The redevelopment created of retail space for lease and 1,830 parking bays housed in two levels of underground parking and five levels of multi storey parking. The final phase of the Atria's redevelopment commenced during the third quarter of 2016, involving the redevelopment of two food stall complexes at Jalan SS22/19 and Jalan SS22/25. For this phase, metal hoardings were placed almost in the middle of the road along a section of Jalan SS22/25.
