How this list is builtOne published number, in the order the table shows

Ranked by the return per year: the uplift between a building's all-time median off-plan price and its current resale median, compounded over the years between the two legs' median dates. The total uplift and the hold are shown beside it. Deliberately not restricted to a 12-month window — the comparison is longitudinal by nature. A building appears only if it has both a launch history and current resales; stock that never resold, or whose project was cancelled, cannot appear — so the cohort reads better than the market as a whole.
