Could it be that the government, or the small group of influential people in Qatar are trying to keep rents high/stable by not having too many apartments delivered to the market at one time?

I dont know if most Pearl apartment owners are going to live in Pearl or rent the units.

Dont forget, that the builders must be more desperate for the handover than the buyers because I am sure that the builders have financed their projects and are still paying interest payments to banks. The sooner the builders get the handover, the sooner the builders can get their money from us.
