Quality. I do electrical maintenance in a lot of buildings of that era, the styles and colour schemes are of the same. Some still even original. I love the older buildings, so much more style and design than the current all white vast spaces of nothing. All the best to you.
Surprised at the condition of the building prior to it being renovated. It looked pretty good. If it opened in 1975 like you said it only saw 15 years of use.
Brilliant video it is most interesting to see it being converted into apartments but one wonders about sound proofing and the longevity of the conversions apart from the expense of communal maintenance these developments consume.
outside of the brown toilet, I didn't find the colors that atrocious. I was a teen in the 1970's, and remember some actual horrible color combos. orange and green for one 🤢I still like earth tones, which I think this building was done in. thanks for another fascinating video, I am going to watch part 2 for sure 😀
Looking forward to seeing the next part. Those lifts look to be in remarkable condition after being abandoned for over 30 years. It wouldn’t take a lot of work to refurb back into going order. Probably though, a lot would be stripped and, at the very least, the control system and the car would be replaced. These are classic Otis systems for the period. I’ve installed countless numbers of these, but how many engineers are left now that even understand how to maintain these systems?

Epic Video. Those Old Otis Lifts Look Very Epic to Ride if they were Working. I Really hope they don't Modernize the set of 2 Lifts.
Oh, yeah. Its going to be a good evening.

Anyone know what offices were there, shops too?
Video nicely put together
Watching with maximum excitement at 30,000ft over the Atlantic!
Will there be new lifts installed in the shafts eventually?
It’s beyond me how such a structure and the capital involved can lay dormant and unused for 30+ years…
Yeah, maybe it can be written off but still…
Yooooo
