Distil Networks expands with more space in Arlington

Distil Networks has signed a seven-year lease that will expand its headquarters space in Arlington to 15,314 square feet.

According to West, Lane & Schlager Realty Advisors LLC, which brokered the lease, the Web application security company will add nearly 11,000 square feet to its real estate footprint at 4501 N. Fairfax Drive.

West, Lane & Schlager Assistant Vice President Andrew Genova and Senior Associate Brian Dickerson represented Distil, a Web application security company that blocks malicious bots, or automated computer programs, from attacking clients’ Web sites.

By adding the additional space, Genova said in a statement that the company will have room to expand its workforce.

Currently, Distil has 28 employees at its corporate office in Arlington, and 102 company-wide. It has plans to roughly double the headquarters staff and add 80 more people across the firm in 2016.

Genova and Dickerson have worked with Distil Networks since its founding in 2011, representing the company in multiple leases.
“It’s rewarding to see them go from a three-person start-up to where Distil Networks is today …,”Genova said.
