I thought those floors were there, but usually service floors?

    Anecdotally, having to have to take the stairs down during fire drills, the number of steps between floors 15 -> 14 is the same number of steps from 14 -> 12.

    I think it's simply that 13 is considered unlucky, so people won't rent/buy those properties, and it's cheaper to renumber the floors than to risk the floor being unoccupied or below market value.
