Of course, the Gansevoort Hotel Group isn't going to take this lying down. The group filed a suit today against Column Financial, an affiliate of Credit Suisse, arguing that Column does not have the

Maybe forever. <a href="http://www.sceneadvisor.com/todays-headlines/canned-projects-big-budget-dreams-cant-get-off-the-ground-11534.html">Scene Advisor</a> reports that the project has been "halted" before ground was even broken. They also said that construction was to begin in 2010 with an opening date of some time in 2012. But we think you will to wait even longer.We checked in with the hotel's construction company, TAS DesignBuild, and Steve Fernandez said this about hotel's construction timeline: <blockquote> Final opening date is not confirmed, as will commence with the start of the selling of the project.</blockquote>Hmmm....According
