This site is mostly a rail yard (well below grade; basically a trench).
So the reason it hasn't been developed is because it doesn't really exist yet.
Also, the entire neighborhood had the wrong zoning. Developers have been sitting on land for many years, just waiting for the neighborhood to be rezoned.
As for foundations, modern day engineering can build a skyscraper anywhere. Bedrock isn't really important. If anything, it makes skyscraper construction more expensive.
