ATS Infrastructure Limited entered the Chandigarh Tricity market with a large residential commitment rather than a token project. In July 2013, the Noida-headquartered developer announced an investment of roughly ₹2,000 crore to launch luxury housing in Punjab, choosing Sector 121 in Mohali, directly on the Mohali-Chandigarh border along NH-21, as its address in the region. That decision placed the group's Tricity flagship, ATS Casa Espana, on one of the few remaining large land parcels this close to Chandigarh's municipal limits.
ATS Casa Espana is a Spanish-Mediterranean themed residential development designed by architect Hafeez Contractor, built across 11 towers with roughly 580 apartments in 3, 4 and 5 BHK configurations. Unit sizes for the 3 BHK and 4 BHK homes run in the 2,400 to 3,300 sq ft band, with larger penthouse formats going up to about 5,000 sq ft, and the project carries Punjab RERA registration PBRERA-SAS80-PR0086. A defining design choice for the developer here was restricting each floor to only two apartments, a low-density layout the company has carried across its Casa Espana marketing as a point of differentiation from denser Tricity high-rises.
The project sits on a large footprint with a majority open-area ratio, giving room for a clubhouse, swimming pool, multipurpose hall, indoor and outdoor sports courts, jogging track and landscaped gardens within the gated compound. Interiors specified for the homes include vitrified or marble flooring, granite kitchen counters with modular cabinetry, and private balconies, positioning the project at the upper end of Mohali's apartment market.
The site is on NH-21, about 1.5 km from Chandigarh, which is what allows ATS to market Casa Espana as a Mohali address with a Chandigarh-adjacent lifestyle. The immediate neighbourhood includes the ISBT bus terminal roughly 1 km away, North Country Mall around 2 km, Fortis Hospital about 5 km, the PCA Stadium roughly 7 km, and Sector 17 in central Chandigarh around 12 km. Chandigarh International Airport and the Mohali railway station are both within a 12-19 km drive depending on the route taken. For a developer whose core NCR business has always leaned on expressway and airport-adjacent addresses, this NH-21 frontage in Sector 121 mirrors the connectivity logic ATS applies in Noida and Gurugram.
The surrounding sectors of Mohali have also matured into an employment and institutional corridor. IT operations from companies such as Infosys, Tech Mahindra and Quark run out of the nearby IT City and QuarkCity SEZ, while Knowledge City in Sector 81 hosts IISER Mohali and the Indian School of Business, adding an institutional and research-driven demand base to the area's housing market. Sector 121 buyers also draw on established Tricity hospitals, including Fortis and Max in Mohali, for healthcare access.
Sector 121 commands one of the higher average per-square-foot rates in Mohali, and ATS Casa Espana has been recorded among the locality's higher-appreciating housing projects on a year-on-year basis. Resale and primary listings for the project's 3 and 4 BHK units span roughly ₹95 lakh at the lower end to over ₹1.6 crore for larger formats, reflecting both the low-density layout and the Chandigarh-adjacent address that ATS built the project around.
ATS Infrastructure Limited was founded in 1998 by Getamber Anand and is headquartered in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The group's early portfolio in Noida included ATS Greens 1 and 2 and ATS Village, followed over the years by projects such as ATS Paradiso, ATS Advantage, ATS Prelude, ATS One Hamlet, ATS Kocoon, ATS Triumph and ATS Golf Meadows, alongside developments across Gurugram, Greater Noida, the Yamuna Expressway, Indirapuram and Dehradun. The company has attracted institutional capital as well, with HDFC Fund investing ₹200 crore in one of its Delhi projects in 2011. Within this national footprint, Sector 121 in Mohali and Dera Bassi represent the group's presence in Punjab, with Casa Espana standing as its principal Tricity address to date.
