What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here

EaDo (East Downtown) is a former light-industrial district redeveloped post-2005 — the 2013 Dynamo soccer stadium catalyzed townhouse and loft redevelopment.

Because many properties are on former light-industrial land, EPA brownfield Phase I assessment is sometimes required before residential conversion.

The neighborhood's proximity to Minute Maid Park + downtown drives a distinctive commuter-owner mix.

Houston has no zoning citywide — ADUs are permitted where deed restrictions allow (historic district overlay varies). Houston P&D files residential permit. In EaDo (East Downtown) specifically, post-2005 townhouse + loft stock means adu / accessory dwelling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Houston scoping flow factors no historic district and primarily post-2005 townhouse + loft conversion 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.
