It would appear (one hopes!) that the trees and palms are to be saved.
At the moment, the machines are being used to dig around the massive palms and beautiful trees. Presumably they will be left in place or will be lifted and hopefully replaced when the building work is finished. Who knows? Doubtless we'll eventually know the answer ...

This reminds me of the port area after the Grand Prix each year, when it's all a construction site for several weeks while they dismantle all the stands & barriers. It's definitely more of a concrete jungle experience than a tranquil seaside garden. All in the name of progress!
