Citygate has the lower entry: from ~$124,183. Sun Hills Layan costs more, but compare price per sqm and stage — ask us for a unit-level calculation.
Citygate is completed — move in or rent out immediately, no construction risk. Sun Hills Layan is under construction: cheaper entry and instalments, but a horizon to handover.
