-Wiss Janney Elstner Associates Inc., a structural engineering firm in Princeton, N.J., will open its first Philadelphia office in 2,605 square feet on the 3rd floor. Neil Brazitis of Newmark Frank Knight Smith Mack represented the firm.

In reaffirming its previously announced financial guidance, Liberty Property Trust noted several positive trends in the commercial real estate market: the economic recovery will slowly improve, industrial and office occupancy will increase and industrial and office rents have bottomed out, it said.

[SIZE=4]Green’s bill could prompt more Web companies like Yorn to locate in Phila[/SIZE]

Assuming he hasn’t changed his mind since I saw him Monday night, Bill Green intends to introduce a bill in City Council tomorrow that he thinks could encourage more tech companies to set up shop in Philadelphia.

Speaking at a party to celebrate Yorn’s move from Conshohocken, Pa., to Center City, the Democratic councilman-at-large said the bill would require companies such as web-hosting or software-as-a-service firms based in the city to pay taxes only on sales to customers that also are based in the city. They currently pay taxes on all their sales.

Holt Logistics Corp. said Thuesday that shipping company Horizon Lineswill move its Northeast Port of Call to Philadelphia from Elizabeth, N.J. starting in April. Horizon services the US East Coast and Puerto Rico,

Horizon’s arrival will provide Philadelphia’s port with a major new carrier to possibly expand trade with Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Horizon will use the port on a weekly basis.

Tom Holt Jr., president of Astro Holdings Inc., the lessee for Packer Avenue Marine Terminal in South Philadelphia, said Horizon’s decision will mean approximately 400 direct and indirect new jobs at the Port, Port-related businesses, and the region.
