It appears that they preserved the old floor while putting a new caisson through the basement.
New caissons just outside the old foundation
The old retaining wall from .. ( '70s ? )

reduce REUSE recycle - no need to get rid of a perfectly fine basement wall just because you want to build a high-rise there. I'm guessing they are still doing a matt.

Tower crane base and some caissons poked through the old floor.

Floor removed and wall trimmed off
this appears to be the rail/guide for the concrete saw

The loops of cable are for Post Stress - allows for thinner and lighter floors.

Getting ready for some serious pouring - note the blue pump head.
