Large ABANDONED Apartment Building Where Strange Things Happened

- This Building is Cursed
I am going to tell you about three stories that happened to me, a friend of mine and a complete stranger involving this formerly abandoned apartment building.
My friend had told me about this place when he had read that there was a zoning application in the works to redevelop the property. A few weeks later I got a message from him, he said he was in the hospital after he had broken his leg. As we were talking he had mentioned that he was at this location checking it out when he got spooked by something and I guess took a wrong step and collapsed. He couldn't walk anymore and ended up having to call for help eventually landing him in the hospital.
I decided to go and check on the location a few months later and it was pretty great. I was outside taking exterior photos and was standing about 8 feet up on a ledge above a set of stairs that led to the parking garage. Somehow I made a wrong step and fell onto the concrete steps, fortunately landing on my bum onto a pile of leaves and my head did not swing back and hit the ground. I got up and immediately searched for damage, surprisingly nothing, I was very lucky and escaped unscathed.
Finally, there is a video of someone having explored this location after our visits. He went into the parking garage (which is an area that I had never explored), there were a lot of leftovers down there but one in particular that caught his eye. He found what looked to be a fairly large gym bag and as he opens it up, there are stacks of bills folded in half and held together by rubber bands...the whole bag is full of money! Naturally he starts to get nervous since law abiding citizens don't usually leave a gym bag full of cash in an abandoned building. He guessed that there must have been about $50,000 inside the bag. I don't know if this really happened or not and to this day I remain skeptical but honestly, although farfetched, it is definitely not impossible.
The new building that is replacing this one is 5 stories and contains 12 units ranging in size from 3000-6000 square feet. The price range for the condos is a staggering $6.5-$12.5 million dollars, I can only imagine what the monthly maintenance fees will be like!
What do you guys think, is this building cursed or was it just a series of strange and unfortunate events? Let me know in the comments below!

I'm sick that a developer would take this place down. It looks to be structurally sound. If the developer wants to sell them as expensive condos, then redo them with high end finishes and upgraded kitchens instead of putting all of this in a landfill. I get so annoyed seeing places like this torn down for more poorly built and much more expensive prices. Rant over lol. Another great explore James!
Ya i get it but this will never stop. Honestly it's the governments fault because they are the ones who allow it. Honestly though, i don't know if retrofitting buildings would actually lower prices or not, i think it may actually increase them. But there is no doubt that the costs for a home here are already astronomical. Thank you very much for the comment KMF!!
Don't be ridiculous it's not the government. It's developers people have money and want to make money. Stop blaming the government for this
But what if there was no demand for new housing, do you think that developers would still be building new homes? I mean yes, it's not entirely the government's fault, there are many factors involved including us, the consumers. But the reality is, development companies are businesses just like any business and they can't operate at a loss.
Foreign Developers
That was really cool I couldn't even imagine living in something that was so big and cost so much as the new ones will. Those probably weren't cheap in their day either. Good job glad you didn't get hurt.
I can't imagine it either, it's a whole other lifestyle that most of us will never know. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much for the comment!!
This place was so cool. I really enjoyed seeing how each apartment was styled. They were huge apartments. Thanks for taking us along
Oh yes, they were all very large apartments. It was a building in a high end neighbourhood and likely had very high rent. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you very much for the comment!!
Great video James!!!! The little records are called 45’s and the big records are called Albums. I’m quite the collector and saddens me to see them left in abandoned places.
Oh ok, i have never bought a record in my life, so the names escape me. I think they were mostly less desirable albums, at least from what I looked through and a lot of them didn't have the sleeves. Glad you enjoyed the video Anthony and thank you very much for the comment!!
@@StaticSpaces The large records are 33s The number refers to the RPM (speed) Also known as LPs (Long Play) And with the right audio equipment they sound Awesome!!!!
That wasn't Nixon in the closet, that was Reagan.
Ah ok, could you tell i wasn't 100% sure when I said it? 😆 Thank you very much for the comment!!
Can't believe you thought that was Nixon! Lol
Lol Well in my defense, i am Canadian so i don't pay very close attention to American politics
👍👍
Hi James
Nice place. Nice work. Thank you for the tour. It was interesting.
Stay safe and well.
Thanks very much Irene, glad you enjoyed this one!!
Hey, James! I loved the video. Your friend's video looks legit. A few horrible/bad things happened. That doesn't mean the building is cursed.
I know, i don't believe in curses or ghosts or anything like that, i just needed something to call the location. 😆 It very well could be legit, i have no way of knowing at all but i am always skeptical of things on the internet that don't seem all that believable. Glad you enjoyed it and thank you very much for the comment!!
Enjoyed this video!! Those apartments were huge!!! Maybe the costumes was used to scare people away🤣🤣. Be safe!! Pam❤️
Ya, they don't build apartments that big anymore! Thanks a lot for your comment!!
Hi James👋🏻,
I really liked your video as always. At the end of the video,that wasn't you really going #2 was it🤔😁. If you really did go #2 I HOPE🙏🏻that you remembered to flush🚽🧻👍🏻and the water was still turned on as well. Loved seeing this empty building and see you in the next "static space"✌🏻.
No it definitely wasn't for real, I was just acting, just trying to be funny. Glad you are enjoying the videos Simon and thanks a lot for your comment!!
What another great explore James! Wow you are very lucky with your fall and that nature’s leaves were there for you. I like that each apartment had its own character. I really like the photo you took with the stacked chairs with the wall paint chipping away…..it was esthetically pleasing! 😮 I’m a photographer too! 😊 Until next time be safe with your explores! 😉
Yes, it may not sound like much but i think those leaves actually helped quite a bit. Really glad you enjoyed the video and that photo you liked was one of my favorites from that location. Thank you so much for the comment!!
Definitely a fun explore. I think it was old man Reagan in the closet!!! Thank you!!!😊
You are right, i was mistaken. Lol Glad you enjoyed it Deborah and thank you very much for the comment!!
I love the pent house apartment. Love the secret escape door
That secret door was so unexpected! Thanks very much for commenting!!
This apartment is absolutely beautiful! Its too bad that its just left to be abandoned. I would totally live in this apartment if it wasnt abandoned
Thank you very much for your comment!!
Very cool! Lots of nice furnishings left behind. What were those things at 27:57?
Excellent video! No it was not too long 👏👏👏👏
This was back when I first started UA-cam and a few people that don't usually watch these videos were saying they were too long. Now, i have a sweet spot i am aim for but just film as much or as little as necessary. Glad you liked it and thanks a lot for the comment Jan!!
Just found your channel and have started watching your videos. Great content, you deserve way more subs!
Awe thank you, glad you are enjoying the videos so far and i appreciate the comment!!
Great video. Dont understand why they don't take everything. It's so weird. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, this often surprises me too. Glad you enjoyed it though and thanks so much for the comment!!
When you went into the apartment with the wallpaper my grandmother used to have some of them in her house definitely brought back great memories for me. Wild things happened there I would believe the story about the money
Yes, I got the feeling that the apartment with the wallpaper was lived in by an older tenant. The money story seems a bit unbelievable to me but then again, these sorts of things do happen! Thank you very much for the comment!!
Enjoyed this video a lot. Please keep it up.
Really glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for the comment!!
Those walls are so thin! I just watched your last video about the two neighboring houses that were built early 1900's and their sturdiness.
Yup, saw your other comment too. Wall thickness isn't so important when you have the entire top floor. Lol Thanks for another comment Dan!!
Hi James! Interesting place and interesting stories along with it 😆 That penthouse is amazing!
Ya, that penthouse was huge! Glad you enjoyed the stories and thank you very much for the comment Stephanie!!
@@StaticSpaces I couldn’t believe the stuff that was left behind. Especially those records! And the photos as well. The paint peel was cool looking too. I didn’t want to make my original comment too long like I usually do 😂
I appreciate the both the long and the short ones! The paint peel was absolutely perfect at this location
The parkay flooring tells me that this place was built around 1977-1985. This type of flooring was popular in the late 1970's early 1980's my uncle has been a contractor since 1976.
That makes sense to me, i see a lot of parlay flooring especially in apartments around here, guess they were mostly built during that time. Thank you very much for the comment!!
Too bad the complex couldn’t stay open for unfortunate people. Cool though.
Thank you very much for the comment!!
My apartment can fit in these apartments. They are so beautiful
These were older luxury apartments, so not surprising they were larger than average. Thanks again for the comments!!
😡 ( I ) consider it an ABOMINATION that this apartment/condo Will be demolished there’s absolutely NOTHING wrong that cannot be repaired or remodeled for new residents…. Such a WASTE of materials to build something in its place that SURELY won’t have the same amount of quality and character of this , Will probably be another on of those CHEAP cookie cutter 4 on 1s that appears to be EVERYWHERE
The replacement building is on the extreme end of high end but i still consider it very ugly. I actually really liked the look of this building, so it's a shame to see it go. Thank you very much for the comment!!
30:00 "There's' a bra in there. Interesting." Understatement of the day!😉
Sure is an odd thing to find in a fridge. Thank you very much for the comment!!
Nice layout to bad it was falling apart
Ya, it was a pretty nice place. And TBH, it was still in very good condition and was just being replaced with something newer and more high end. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for the comment!!
Any time
Waw que hermoso lugar, la verdad ése apartamento tiene su potencial, me hubiera gustado vivir allí.
Bueno si fuera millonaria lo hiciera, pero no soy millonario
Thank you very much for the comment!!
Hi James 👋 Great Explorer and nice tour of the place too❤️ What another awesome find James 👍 Thank you for another outstanding video and I’m enjoying this video too 😊Have a wonderful day James 🥰
Glad you enjoyed this one Fawn and thank you very much for the support!!
You are welcome James 😊
I'm a realtor, and each area had their own look. Most apartments are cookie cuter and small these have a lot of square footage. What city are these in?
While I can't say for sure if they were one or the other, you do make a good argument for them being condos. Although, I think the fact they were so big could just be because it was an older building. Thank you very much for your comment!!
I would love to have that Penthouse unit. That whole buidling looks like it is still great shape. Why couldnt they just renovate. Love your stories in this. Man landing on your butt, that right there made my tailbone hurt. You know this place is across the street of an abandoned house. Go check that out if you haven’t yet. Another great explore JH. Big Hugs 😊😊
P.s. love the roof shot.
Big records 12inch with speeds of 33 1/2 or 45 rpms
Small records 7inch with speed of 45 rpms.
Should have went through the records. I wanted to see what was there haha
Yes, i have know about that place across the street for quite a while and i did do it fortunately. Ah yes, 7 inch records, makes sense, can you tell i don't know much about vinyl?
Ha, if i went through them all the video would have been like an hour long! Lol Glad you enjoyed this one Kimmy and thank you very much for the comment!!
CORPORATE GREED
It Happen in ORILLIA ONT
😭🇨🇦😭
While this building isn't going to help with bringing more housing onto the market, the reason for all the development these days is to bring more available units. Thanks for watching!!
I missed if you mentioned the era of the building, Do you know when it was built? 15:34 I thought you just walked through 3 Apartment geez LOL
I think I mentioned it in the description...oh wait nope. But I imagine it was built in the 70s or less likely, the 80s. Thank you very much for your comment!!
It's such a nice spacious building, the first floor look really bad the paint is peeling all over the walls and too bad you have Vandals if the shoe was on the other foot they wouldn't like it if someone came to their home and just went gung ho. 😲😲😲😲
They were very large apartments but they were older and luxury, which explains the size. Always sad to see vandalism. Thanks very much for your comment!!
I think these are condos, not just regular apartments.
They could be, never thought of that. What makes you think they were condos?
Hi👋🏽James…
I don’t understand why the developer is going to tear the building down…it looks stable😡why not fix it up?
He could still make it high end. The apartments are bigger than my entire condo.
The three stories you told was crazy…I would have had to leave that kind of money there…I’d be afraid the mafia would come looking for me…glad your friend is healed and ok…and you were very lucky too.
The video wasn’t too long…I like when you show everything…and share whatever history you know about a place.
TFS🙏🏽another Fabulous video…see you next time❤❤❤
I think it would be too difficult for the top tier condos he wanted, plus i don't think the new design plan would have worked with the existing building.
Ya, finding that amount of money is almost as scary as finding a dead body. Lol
Glad you like the length of the video Beverley and thank you very much for the comment!!
What appartment that we are witnessing getting torn down, Look Like it can be own to be rent out.
There are a lot of places being demolished in the area these days because there is so much redevelopment happening. Thank you for the comment Will!!
7:41 cesca chair
Ah ok, thanks very much for that info!!
@@StaticSpaces What a shame that they left the chair.
Small records were referred to as singles.
At the time I was thinking more along the lines of 7" or 45s but single works too. Thank you very much for your comment!!
@@StaticSpaces we also called them 45's so we both got this one right. Great video.
One upside to living in a highrise are the views,🙂
This is very true, until they build a taller one right next to you! 😆 Thank you very much for the comment!!
I think the first apartment was more than one unit. Tore some walls down for a massive unit. The “secret” door was originally to a unit I think.
Yes, i am almost positive the penthouse was original two separate apartments. The secret door however went directly to a staircase and they just put it up to disguise the utilitarian door. Thanks very much for the comment!!
Why do these money Hungry Investors keep building these Luxury Apartments when there are so many homeless and low income people out there???!! Have thet no compassion for their fellow man???!! Either they tare down buildings even though they may be structurally sound, and renovated for the needy, or build something bigger and better, which only the rich can afford!!!!!- Shameful!!!!!
Thanks very much for your comment!!
are you sure these were not Timeshares?
Yes pretty sure. What makes you think they were timeshares?
❤❤❤❤❤😊
Thank you very much!!
Recently a family that used to live in our neighborhood stopped by to say hi. There was something about them that seemed odd, but I couldn't pinpoint what it was. After they left, we figured out that everyone in the family was wearing that fake tan stuff.
Hahaha, i can understand the allure of tanning to a point but some people just take it too far. Not to mention that when you tan, it ages your skin prematurely, i have seen many a leathery looking old person. The tanner is on a whole different level though, it doesn't even look real. Thanks very much for the comment!!
James they should turn this place for the homeless people 😊
🧡🇨🇦🧡
James : I see you had to take a shit in this building ! Good for you . If you are going to fall on your arse in the future , best to beef it up a bit . Peanut butter on toast often and lots of beer will build you a safe cushiony landing pad .Worked for me !!
Ha ya, well that's one way to do it. Thank you very much for the comment John!!
Hmmm, never remembering seeing this place before but I seldom watch abandoned home tours where there is basically nothing but stale air inside as it initially appeared. Stuck with it this time because there was a bra in the fridgeand surprise, there ARE random bits and bobs and much other odd stuff in many of the rooms! ...If I would have found all that ABANDONED $$$ it would have been mine - IF that story is true then that other explorer is as dumb as a bag of rocks if he left it there! Did he? or are YOU the rich man now?💰🤑...That "electronic voice" you heard could be a hidden ring doorbell. ...Definitely need sunglasses in that ultra-white building😎 - good grief! ...Yep, that one lady in the photo certainly was bright orange🟠 - another good grief! ...And finally, yes - another perfectly good building going to be destroyed by another greedy developer! It appears that the tenants were quickly evicted then the bastard lets the place stand vacant and slowly rot for years?? Hopefully he will have one of those bad accidents you spoke of, or maybe he already has!🤣😂PS: The small records are 45s, the large ones are albums - the ones I see are great jazz LPs - and will be a terrible waste if they get destroyed in demolition! Why someone would leave their valuable record collection behind is mind-boggling!...and NO COMMENT on your toilet shot!
Ya, i don't think anyone else posted a video from here other than that one guy. IDK, if it belonged to the mob or was part of a drug deal it could be a really bad idea to take it. Lol This one was only aba dined for about a year or two, so not too long. Ah yes 45s that does sound familiar actually. Glad you enjoyed this one despite it not being your usual taste. But you should know by now that if i post a video of a location, there is good reason. Usually something unique about it. Thanks very much for the comment Bill!!
