In a dark corner of the 13th Floor, you will be lured into a secret bar, where you can cool off with a refreshing shot straight out of a nightmare fairy tale. The only spot within the haunted house where you can take a picture with our big bad wolf.
The thirteenth floor is a designation of a level of a multi-level building that is often omitted in countries where the number 13 is considered unlucky.[1][2] Omitting the 13th floor may take a variety of forms; the most common include denoting what would otherwise be considered the thirteenth floor as level 14, giving the thirteenth floor an alternate designation such as "12A" or "M" (the thirteenth letter of the Latin alphabet), or closing the 13th floor to public occupancy or access (e.g., by designating it as a mechanical floor).
Reasons for omitting a thirteenth floor include triskaidekaphobia on the part of the building's owner or builder, or a desire by the building owner or landlord to prevent problems that may arise with superstitious tenants, occupants, or customers. In 2002, based on an internal review of records, Dilip Rangnekar of Otis Elevators estimated that 85% of the buildings with at least thirteen floors [clarification needed] with Otis brand elevators did not have a floor named the 13th floor.[3] Early tall-building designers, fearing a fire on the 13th floor, or fearing tenants' superstitions about the rumor, decided to omit having a 13th floor listed on their elevator numbering.[3] This practice became commonplace, and eventually found its way into American mainstream culture and building design.[3]
The origin of skipping the thirteenth floor when installing elevators is not known. However, during the advent of early skyscrapers, New York architectural critics warned developers not to exceed the height of the 13th floor.[5] These critics insisted that buildings rising above the 13th floor (130 feet or 40 metres) would lead to increased street congestion, ominous shadows and lower property values. Nevertheless, in a work published in 1939, sociologist Otto Neurath compared the use of money in an economy, which he saw as unnecessary, to the superstition of not installing the thirteenth floor: merely a social convention.
Most commonly, 13 is skipped, as in: 12, 14, 15... The floor labeled "14" on the elevator is the thirteenth floor and the number 13 is skipped on the elevator console. In such buildings, floors after 12 are nominally incorrect, with their labeled floor being one higher than the actual floor.
Sometimes to keep numbers consistent the 13th floor is simply renumbered as 12A or 12B, as in: 12, 12A, 14.., or 12, 12B, 14; this does not affect the numbers of the higher floors. Likewise, 14 could be used for the 13th floor and 14A or 14B could be used for the 14th floor.
Other buildings will often use names for certain floors to avoid giving a floor on the building the number 13 designation. One such example is the Radisson Hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where the 13th floor is called the pool floor. Another example is the Sheraton on the Falls in Niagara Falls, Ontario, where the 13th floor consists solely of a restaurant. A third example is the Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, where the 13th floor is the mezzanine floor.
In Richmond, Virginia, the Monroe Park Towers has a 13th floor, but it is used for mechanical equipment and is only accessible from the freight elevator or the stairs. The M designation on the elevator buttons of the freight elevator can also be construed as meaning the Mechanical level in this particular building, or as a Mezzanine level.
In a 2007 Gallup poll,[6] 13 percent of American adults reported that they would be bothered if given a hotel room on the thirteenth floor, while 9 percent indicated that they would be sufficiently bothered to request a room on a different floor. Research on thirteenth-floor effects on real estate values presents a mixed picture. Several prominent American real estate developers have claimed that they are unaware of any reduction in the value of thirteenth-floor offices or apartments.[1] On the other hand, in a study conducted in Russia, Burakov found that thirteenth-floor apartments were less likely to sell than were apartments on twelfth or fourteenth floors. This effect, however, was eliminated if developers offered buyers a 10% or greater discount on the cost of thirteenth-floor apartments.[7]
In South Korea, buildings tend to include the fourth floor in spite of similar pronunciation issues in the Korean language, though some newer buildings may substitute the letter F in the place of the number 4.
Some conspiracy theorists have suggested that the thirteenth floor in government buildings is not really missing, but actually contains top-secret governmental departments, or more generally that it is proof of something sinister or clandestine going on. This implication is often carried over, implicitly or explicitly, into popular culture; for example in:
13th Floor Homes is a leading Florida-based private community developer and homebuilder. The company takes a community-driven approach to development, with the goal of creating enduring value for all stakeholders where it develops property.
13th Floor Homes is a leading Florida-based homebuilder. Since inception, the company has consistently been ranked as one of the top homebuilders in South Florida, having developed thousands of new single-family homes and homesites in communities that residents are proud to call home.
13th floor apartment2011/2/8 00:21 Hello everyone,
I have just moved into 13th floor apartment in Sumida-ku and I know from my friends that usually there is no 4th and 13th fl in japan but this building has all the numbers from 1st all the way up to 14th floor.
I dont feel anything since moving here except hearing knocking/bumping/sound of 1-2 people walking around/occasionally dragging chairs after 1am onwards.
I would like to know what is your view of 13th floor apartment in japan?by mochisakura
??2011/2/8 09:57 I think your friends are mistaken- I have never come across a building with no 4th or 13th floor in Japan, although I did stay at a hotel with no 4th floor in Korea once. Until 2 years ago I lived on the 4th floor of a new building in Tokyo- it didn't seem to bother my husband or any of the other Japanese tenants who lived on that floor.
Really, the numbers 4 and 13 are just numbers, and don't have any influence on anything that happens when living on a particular floor, and I think most Japanese people would agree. If you are superstitious enough about the number 13 that it bothers you then you might want to consider moving, but I don't think it's worth worrying about.by Sira (guest)rate this post as useful
13th floor2011/2/8 10:32 I too have yet to come across a building in Japan that skipped the 4th or 13th floors, but I hear that some of the older hotels that catered to western tourists omitted the 13th floor.
I would like to know what is your view of 13th floor apartment in japan?
I think to most people in Japan the 13th floor apartments are known as the ones that lie directly above the 12th floor and often (but not always) sits below a 14th floor ;)
Now apartment number 964, that's a number that might make the more superstitious in Japan raise an eyebrow.by yllwsmrfrate this post as useful
132011/2/11 05:50 I heard about buildings in North America that don't have a 13th floor but the fact is, no matter what number you give to that floor, it still IS the 13th floor..
In some European countries the ground floor is called just that. The floor above is the 1st and so on..
so the 12th floor is actually the 13th floor but nobody think about it that way..
13 being an unlucky number comes from Judas being the 13th guy in the band of Jesus and his buddies...he betrayed Jesus and therefore 13 became a number that brought back luck...
If you really think about it, it was the #1, Jesus, that got all the bad luck!by Monkey see (guest)rate this post as useful
...2011/2/12 18:05 I have stayed at hotels in Japan without a 4th and/or 13th floor! Especially Western hotel chains might skip the 13th floor. But sometimes even Japanese hotels do so (just like some of them provide a Bible on the room without cultural precedent).
The other day I stayed in hotel room 443 and rented a car with the license number 4445, and I was rather shocked about it. No accident happened, though.

friday the 13th2011/2/16 21:03 Many Christians have long believed that Friday was unlucky because it was the day of the week when Jesus was crucified. The number 13 was believed to bring bad luck because there were 13 people at The Last Supper. Since there were 12 tribes of Israel, that number was considered lucky.by ashley1rate this post as useful
The history of the superstition begins in the distant, murky past. Predominantly a Western culture thing, the number in question has long had an aura of evil or misfortune. Individual scholars pinpoint the Last Supper as a strong contender for its genesis, as it was Judas, the 13th guest at dinner, who betrayed Jesus. However, the dubious number appears in other cultures, too. You can find unlucky 13s in Norse mythology and ancient Hinduism.
