The new Penn building looks really good for that location. That stretch of Walnut is really boring. I hope Penn can find a way to redevelop their ice rink someday - that thing is terribly ugly. And the parking lot in Penn Park across from the FMC Tower is just BEGGING to have an office/research tower over a parking podium. Put a deck over Lower Walnut St to connect the office level to Walnut with some pedestrian seating and landscaping, and you'd do wonders for connecting Penn to Center City along Walnut.
