ATS Infrastructure Limited, founded in 1998 by Getamber Anand, built its early reputation in Delhi and the National Capital Region before extending its footprint outward. Its Chandigarh-region presence is anchored in Ashiana Colony, Dera Bassi, where the developer has assembled one of its larger integrated townships outside NCR. In 2013 the company announced a large investment commitment for luxury housing in the Mohali-Dera Bassi belt, a scale of commitment that explains why the ATS Golf Meadows township here runs across roughly 300 acres rather than a single standalone tower block.
ATS Golf Meadows 5 sits inside this established township, which already comprises a cluster of residential phases spread across the 300-acre masterplan in Ashiana Colony. The wider Golf Meadows development includes ATS Golf Meadows Lifestyle, a roughly 26-acre enclave of 14 to 16 towers built up to nine floors, offering 2, 3 and 4 BHK apartments designed by Florida-based architect Oru Bose in a Mediterranean idiom. That existing scale, with reported unit counts in the range of 1,000 to 1,200 homes across the Lifestyle phase alone, gives a buyer evaluating Golf Meadows 5 a working sense of the density, architecture and finish standards ATS has already delivered on the same land parcel.
Residents of the Golf Meadows township draw on facilities built within its own boundary rather than depending entirely on the surrounding town. These include ATS Sarovar Premiere, a five-star hotel with banquet facilities, and ATS Valley School, run under the Learn Today division of the India Today Group, along with a golf course, hospital, shopping facility and sports clubs. The residential blocks themselves are specified with wooden and vitrified flooring, granite or marble kitchen counters, UPVC windows and Vastu-compliant layouts, with amenity lists across the township covering a clubhouse, gymnasium, swimming pool, sports courts and landscaped gardens.
Ashiana Colony sits directly on the Ambala-Chandigarh Expressway (NH-152/NH-44), roughly 9 km from the Chandigarh border and about 20 km from the city centre. This highway frontage is the reason ATS could plan a township of this size here: NH-152 gives direct road access toward Chandigarh, Mohali and Panchkula on one side and toward Ambala and Delhi on the other. Chandigarh International Airport lies about 17 km away via Aerocity Road, and Dappar Railway Station on the Delhi-Kalka line is about 9 km from the locality, so residents of an ATS home here are not dependent on a single mode of transport for the wider region.
Dera Bassi's residential market has shifted over the past few years from a plotted-development town into a corridor of gated townships and mid-rise apartments, particularly along Barwala Road and the highway itself, with ATS Golf Meadows cited alongside other established names as one of the projects that changed the area's character. Average asking prices in Dera Bassi run below the Chandigarh city average, giving the locality room to appreciate as the Mohali-Zirakpur-Dera Bassi belt continues to urbanise; local civic bodies have floated plans for an expanded IT and industrial hub across this stretch. For a buyer, this combination of highway frontage, an existing operational township with a school, hotel and hospital already functioning on site, and price levels still below the tricity core is the practical case for choosing an ATS address in Ashiana Colony over a standalone project elsewhere in the region.
Beyond what ATS has built internally, Dera Bassi carries its own base of schools, colleges and hospitals, including institutions such as Lord Mahavir Jain Public School and DAV Public School locally, plus engineering, dental and law colleges in the wider municipal area. Cosmo Mall and the VIP Road retail stretch in Zirakpur are around 8 km away for buyers who want organised retail beyond the township's own shopping facility.
