## Story

The Venture X in Tampa is operated by Kamal Rama, who has experience in the hotel and lodging industry, including properties under Marriott and Hilton brands.

“Hospitality has always been at the core of what we do,” said Kamal Rama. “With Venture X, we’re able to translate that passion into a workspace environment, creating a place where businesses not only operate, but truly thrive. Westshore was a natural choice given its accessibility, energy, and proximity to everything that makes Tampa Bay such a dynamic place to live and work.”

Venture X Tampa Westshore features 129 private offices that can accommodate teams of various sizes – from solo professionals to companies with 20-30 employees – along with four fully equipped meeting rooms that can be rented by the day or hour. Additional workspace options include dedicated desks, day offices, coworking memberships, event space, virtual office plans, and business address services – offering flexibility to meet a wide range of professional needs.

Set against the scenic backdrop of Tampa Bay, the workspace offers water views and a boutique-style design that blends aesthetics with functionality. Members benefit from amenities, including common areas, an on-site cafe, access to a fitness center within the building, and complimentary parking. The location is also part of the Cousins Westshore amenity network, providing expanded access and convenience for members.

Strategically positioned in the Westshore business district, Venture X Tampa Westshore is just minutes from Tampa International Airport and a 30-minute drive from St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport, making it an accessible hub for regional and national reach. Surrounded by hotels and waterfront dining destinations, the space integrates work, wellness, and lifestyle.

“Venture X continues to resonate with business owners who want more than just office space; they want an experience that reflects their brand and supports their growth,” added Kamal Rama. “This location exemplifies that vision, bringing together thoughtful design, hospitality, and a strong sense of community in one of Tampa Bay’s most vibrant markets.”
