It is hard to get good spots to take photos of the site at the moment but it looks like they have definitely reached the bottom and they might be getting ready to erect the crane.

That must be some fast-curing concrete!
Typically, its allowed to cure a bit longer than that:

Cranes play an essential role in building construction; their reach and ability to hoist large loads allows a variety of building materials to be placed wherever they are needed to build a structure. In today's Explainer, we explore the installation and the anatomy of a typical tower crane.

I am very impressed with how quickly this got to the bottom of the pit and then crane up

Modern mix designs allow for early high strength, sometimes reaching design strength within 24 hours. Typically concrete is tested at 28 days.That must be some fast-curing concrete!

The rationale here was probably that it's designed for a rather large crane load (full building height), so with high early strength concrete they could be up and running with minimal loads rather quickly.

...I hope we're not complaining. After about 10 years of waiting for things happening behind the scenes, it's about time we see fast moving and expedient curing going on here. <3
