McGuire Farm & Excavating visited Urbana University this morning for a quick excavating project. The University needed a flag pole, some bushes and some landscaping removed so a new Blue Knight and Horse sculpture could be installed in front of their athletic facilities on the center of campus. We took some pictures of the excavation beginning, and we'll try to update the site with a finished picture of the new sculpture once it's been installed.

The framing is now complete at Urbana's new Cobblestone Hotel site. On this frigid November day (with snow still on the ground from the season's first winter storm), the hotel's windows were being installed. The structure is starting to look more and more like a hotel as we near next Spring's Grand Opening!

​Construction is moving steadily at the new Cobblestone Hotel site on the south end of Urbana. McGuire Farm & Excavating will be with the project until completion in the Spring of 2020.

More framework for the first two stories went up this week. You can already see the new hotel take shape. It's going to be a great addition to Urbana's south side, just a few blocks away from Urbana University.

Urbana's Cobblestone Hotel is quickly taking shape. Concrete was poured early Friday morning, and on Sunday, the framing crew started.  Floor joists  are coming this Thursday. The goal is to have this totally framed by Thanksgiving.

​The three-story, 54-room hotel is being built at intersection of 68 & 55 on the south end of Urbana. The project is expected to be completed by May of 2020. See our past updates here, here and here.
