I disagree with the second sentence. This is quite location specific. Where I live, many large high-rise apartment blocks are rental-only.

The developer and property owner are (usually) still different people in this case. Owning and constructing a rental property have very different risk profiles so the same people don't want to be in that business.

I would say the general contractor might be different, but the developer and property owner and always the same where I live for tall apartment blocks with 100% rentals.
