Because they don't need/ want to.
The reason to make a deep excavation is to acomadate a large subterranean instalation, usually used for parking. If they don't want or need a large parking facility and neither they need the underground for other porpouse ( such as Central Park Tower, that uses its large basement mostly for the Nordstrom store use)
In this case it seems they only need like two subterranean levels, and that is all they are excavating. They could as well do zero excavation and do all the pilling directly from ground level, if they didn't want or need any subterranan level, as is the case with many Jersey City towers, that put all its parking facilities above ground, I think because of it low lying situation prone to flooding.
