Wonder if it would affect the value in the long run and if it is harder to sell in the long run ohmy.gif

I bet if the rest on the units sold out, people won't care about 4 and 13.

Resale would suck though

13th floor superstition only applies to the Western countries, particularly the US. Friday the 13th.

Most (if not all) developers here won't give a hoot about it. As mentioned by the others, most will focus on changing the no. 4 to 3A. Though I wonder what about those new launch condos that are starting to go beyond 30 floors. What about 40th floor? How are they gonna 'renumber' it, I wonder? hmm.gif

Not just western... it affects Christians as well cause the number 13 is often seen as unlucky or even evil, due to Judas being called the 13th of Jesus’s 12 disciples, the one that betrays Jesus.

You know la Christians, very staunch believer in their faith. Buying a floor that represents betraying Jesus for them would be worse than buying the 4th floor
