What a adu / dadu project looks like here

Lowry is Denver's marquee former-military redevelopment — the 1937-1994 Lowry Air Force Base became the master-planned community after the 1995 BRAC closure + environmental remediation.

Because Lowry's housing is post-1995, the entire neighborhood is energy-code-modern + post-1995-electrical — making it Denver's lowest-friction remodel market by code-trigger.

Lowry's master-plan covenants impose architectural-review-board oversight on exterior changes — adds 2-4 weeks vs non-covenant Denver neighborhoods.

Denver Zoning Code permits ADUs by-right in most residential zones; permitting through Denver CPD with a 35 ft height + FAR cap and a soils report on basement-level units. In Lowry specifically, post-1995 master-planned mixed-use + townhouse + single-family on former air force base stock means adu / dadu scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Denver scoping flow factors lowry redevelopment master plan covenants and former lowry afb into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
