The Hammes Co. will join in a public discussion this week of its revised plans for a $93 million redevelopment of the Edgewater Hotel at 666 Wisconsin Ave.

Hammes has accepted an invitation from UW-Madison Real Estate Program to participate in a discussion from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Thursday in Room 313 at the Pyle Center, 702 Langdon St., next door to the Red Gym.

The developer is proposing to restore the original Edgewater, shave two floors off a 1973 addition for a public terrace offering sweeping views to Lake Mendota, build a grand staircase to the waterfront, and erect an eight-story hotel tower. The new hotel would have a total of about 190 rooms.
