In North America, the 13th floor is frequently omitted (so the 14th is just above the 12th) because owners are concerned that tenants/buyers would avoid units on an "unlucky" floor. Some developers in Canadian cities have omitted floors with '4' in them (4th, 14th, 24th, etc.) out of fears that ethnically Chinese buyers might regard 4 as unlucky. | |
