why NYC buildings continue to be built up with windows and infrastructure, while the base still isn’t finished

Visited NYC this past weekend and saw multiple buildings that were at least 30-40 stories high, but the base wasn’t finished yet. Why do you keep building upwards and finishing windows instead of finishing the bottom and then doing the same?

It also allows you to finish the floors that get closed, as in put in walls and fixtures like cabinets and finished bathrooms and kitchens.

You would t do that while exposed to the weather.

Doing it this way saves money on the construction project and allows the finished building to be opened faster.

You’ll even have floors on top that don’t have windows yet while the lower floors are already being finished.
