Answer

What is driving the conversion of rental buildings into owned apartments in Palma?

The main driver is profit: an investor buys a building, renovates it and sells the units separately. In many cases, the legal and tax framework makes that model more attractive than keeping homes as long-term rentals. International price comparisons also make Palma look appealing to buyers.
