As excited as we are to have a piece of Gansevoort Hotel on Park Ave South (especially since the Meat Packing District may soon become a "No-Go" Zone), we will probably have to wait a little bit longer than we would like.

A tipster on the street sent us these construction shots...if you can call them construction as it looks like the ground is just being turned over here.

For now, the Gansevoort Park at 29th Street is expected to open its 250 guest rooms in May 2009. Does it take less than a year to build a building from scratch? We're not sure but you bet we'll be watching this one very closely.

Two more pics after the jump.

Yeah right dude! In January 2010 that will just be a big hole in the ground. Striking builders unions + credit crunch + skyrocketing construction costs + Gansevoort Miami's multimillion $ debt = delays and a stagnant Park Ave construction site.

Meet Gansevoort Park Ave South, the latest 10-year-pipeline NYC hotel opening. There will be more too, and my money's on JayZ's fantastic castle in the sky in west chelsea.
