Developers plan to turn five properties along St. Claude Avenue in Bywater ? including several houses and the former art space The Truck Farm ? into a block-sized hotel development called the Sun Yard, with plans pending the approval of several city commissions.
The plans call for linking the properties together as a unit, with the inside area housing a pool and the hotel's interior space. The plans also call for the construction of another unit as well as the removal of porches on the street-facing side of the houses, which would be accessed internally.?
