Can anyone make sense of this bit from a Reuters article on housing in Berlin?

„Housing cooperatives, which offer some of Berlin's most affordable apartments, scrapped two-thirds of their new building projects after the city's government announced a rent cap, saying it made them unviable.“

Apartments built after 2014 were always exempt from the cap, so by which mechanism did it make new building projects unviable?
