A properly engineered basement with piles and proper drainage/backfill will last a good long time.

Agreed. The home at 13 Leopold is being constructed with piles. They poured roughly 10 of them, ~15 feet deep. Including the depth of the basement they will go down about 25 feet from ground level.
Also, the aerial perspective of the property is deceiving. What's shown in that picture is the footings which are about 10 feet below ground level. They will then pour basement walls on top of the footings to bring the basement up to ground level.
