What a exterior / landscape project looks like here
Palma Ceia is anchored by the 1916 Palma Ceia Golf and Country Club; the mature live oak canopy along Bayshore-adjacent blocks is regulated by the Tampa Tree Protection Ordinance, which requires 1:1 caliper-inch replacement plus a Tree Trust Fund payment when grand oaks (>30 in DBH) cannot be preserved.
The neighborhoods 2015-2024 tear-down wave has driven the median pre-improvement market value above $900K, which in turn raises the substantial-improvement 50% threshold for any waterfront-adjacent parcel and effectively unlocks larger remodels without flood-elevation triggers.
Palma Ceia is outside the Tampa ARC overlay despite the 1925-1955 architectural fabric, so demolition is permissible — but the Tampa Preservation Inc. nonprofit will frequently mount public opposition, which can add 4-8 weeks to discretionary review.

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.
