ORLANDO— If you read news headlines, you're noticing high-profile breach after high-profile breach plaguing companies. Target, Home Depot, and most recently Excellus, have been hit with massive cyber attacks in recent years—and there appears to be no end in sight.

Nevertheless, companies like Malwarebytes, an anti-malware and cyber security software company, is battling the dark forces. The company just inked a new 14,817-square-foot office lease for its regional headquarters at the Park Place Promenade office park in Clearwater.

Located in Pinellas County, the office park includes three single-story, class A office buildings. JLL associate Brad Knop represented Malwarebytes in the transaction. The company established its regional headquarters in Clearwater less than a year ago and is expanding as a result of the company's rapid growth and volume of success.

“Park Place Promenade is presently being marketed for sale so we worked quickly to secure the last remaining vacancy in the park as new ownership will often re-evaluate rental rates,” says Knop. “We worked with Malwarebytes at an early stage to accommodate the company's anticipated growth needs and were able to do so while locking in today's market rates and without having to relocate.”

Currently occupying 5,465 square feet, Malwarebytes will expand and occupy a total of 14,817-square-feet between two buildings in Park Place Promenade. The property sits at 410 Park Place Boulevard and 430 Park Place Boulevard.

“We opened our regional headquarters in Clearwater last October and due to our company's success, coupled with the quality labor pool in the Tampa Bay region, we are now expanding to meet our anticipated growth,” says Jason Saham, head of Talent Acquisition for Malwarebytes. “JLL understood our needs and helped us secure space without having to relocate our office. The office is strategically located in the Clearwater Bayside submarket and gives us access to the entire Tampa Bay region and its quality labor pool.”
