Was the Church of St Simeon the Elder at Aleppo built while Simeon was still alive or decades after his death?

The text you have read refers to Simeon Stylites the Younger, who appears (according to this source and to a Life written around his own time) to have had a monastery built around him while he was alive. But as the aforementioned source says (as most other, apparently), the Church of Simeon Stylites the Elder was built as a posthumous memorial.
