Yeah, that's part of the original plan. And may still be part of the long-term plan (although you know how these master plans tend to change over time). But I'm not sure it's something we'll see within the next 5-10 years. I think Penn has a lot of other irons in the fire right now (e.g., South Bank, Penn Medicine/HUP facilities, etc.), and developing that portion of Penn Park isn't a high priority at the moment (at least based on what's been made public). And that parking lot
is part of the final plans for Penn Park, so I'm not sure how much that trumps earlier master planning for Penn Connects.
But who knows? Penn may be negotiating with Brandywine for a land lease of that space even as I type this.

). Don't expect any tower to be built there (unless plans have changed, or do change). I think the expectation is that as the recently planted trees mature, it will seem to be more an intrinsic part of the park (and provide on-site parking for those visiting or using the park, e.g., athletics participants and spectators):
