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?

The bottom floors are often retail spaces separate from whatever the rest of the tower is used for. The business renting that retail space will do their own construction after the primary tower is finished.
