I don't know how the new building foundation is designed, but it would be a huge waste not to re-use these somehow.

I was wondering what those were.... Thanks for clarifying. I'm not normally super into watching the foundation of a new building go up, but in this case - It's so interesting to see the Spire hold mold into the foundation for a completely different building.
