Hola Mandy
Yes, gran can also be used in front of a feminine noun. That's in the lesson, it says:
Similarly, grande (big), has a short-form gran which can also be used before the noun. Unlike buen and mal, gran can also be used with feminine nouns.
Gran has a more figurative meaning of great or fantastic when used like this.
Nueva York es una gran ciudad.
New York is a great/fantastic city.
