Competition demands that new resorts and leisure projects rely on imaginative
concepts. Early in the planning phase, we provide alternatives that explore development
opportunities, resolve siting issues, appraising environmental constraints, and test programs
against site and market conditions.
Our first steps include evaluating market potential and carefully planning project
components to ensure differentiation in the marketplace. In addition, early
consideration of environmental issues and creative mitigation measures are critical
to successful development.
GRC assists clients in creating distinctive environments where architecture, landscape,
entertainment, culture, and history combine for an unforgettable experience. Operations
