Business impact

• 50,000+ Facebook followers and over 180,000 check-ins, turning social proof into a perpetual marketing engine Facebook

• Scalable IP that has since rolled out to flagship sites in The Colony and Houston, each replicating the “tree-house + airstream + food-truck orbit” we pioneered Grandscape
