When you construct very large and heavy structures you generally want a single continuous rigid foundation so that if there is any chance of settling the building moves as a single object. This must not be a concern for this project with the size and depth of the piles used. It's just rare to see on a project this big, I think it's interesting and I look forward to seeing how they tie it all together!
