It is still too preliminary for a concrete number.
A lot of the cost would still be there as the structure and glazing (the city would never let you leave an unfinished Pyongyang-esque concrete structure in the skyline) account for a very large chunk of the cost.
There really is very little reason to build in this fashion, and due to the reasons I just mentioned in response to Surrealplaces question it is often not even an option.
Sometimes it is viable to vertically phase a project in two distinct phases (Blue Cross building in Chicago, Bentall 5 in Vancouver) but even that is a difficult prospect to make economic sense of.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was feasible. but was curious nonetheless.
