Bridgeland Office Building
This large office building was once home to a number of businesses but being very close to a major highway and a large shopping mall, it was only a matter of time before it was up for redevelopment.
The building consisted of some smaller offices as well as larger ones with multiple rooms, with a variety of different types of business. Although some of them were empty, a lot of them still had stuff inside to see and discover, including one that had everything left behind! Most of the decor dated back to the 90s and earlier!
The building was demolished and a new 5-storey car dealership is planned to be built in its place.

As the kids say this slaps! Lol no but I love the asthetifs of this building it reminds me of EVERY office building I been in growing up 88- present and they all mushed together in the backrooms esp the water part! Like the pool rooms irl

Yup, this place reminded me of my childhood and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had a liminal feeling to it. Really glad you enjoyed it and thanks very much for your comment!!

What an incredible explore! Such an array of things left behind. Sad to see what looked like someone's entire life in that one office. I liked this one just as much as I enjoy the houses.

Ya, that first office really was strange! Glad you enjoy the bigger locations and thank you very much for your comment!!

@saralouisejackson8209 29 дней назад

I wonder why they removed all the doors to the offices in the older part. I would totally recycle those stair bannisters! Interesting building for sure!

@StaticSpaces 29 дней назад

I think they were part way through the gutting process before the demolition started. With buildings like these, demolition companies often take the structure down to basically a shell, before the heavy machinery moves in. Agree with you though, that bannister was great! Thanks very much for your comment!!

@stephaniemcquillan1930 29 дней назад

Hi James! Interesting place and it’s interesting having a different type of location now and again. The stairway reminded me of an old hospital or something. Kinda almost looked art deco. Definitely retro anyway. It’s a shame so many old homes, businesses etc are having to make way for more affordable housing, especially when all these places being put up all look the same. Older neighbourhoods and businesses had their own style. A lot of them did anyway. A bar/restaurant in my town is up for redevelopment and I dread to think what’s going in its place. Thanks for the video. Appreciate every one of them.

@StaticSpaces 29 дней назад

I think you are right, that staircase probably is art deco. Yup, I miss places like this, they are dropping like flies, I don't even recognise this area anymore! Glad you enjoyed it Stephanie and thanks a lot for your comment!!

@carolali8851 Месяц назад

Judging by the mold that you found the Health Department might have shut it down. Sad to see all those photos left behind.

@StaticSpaces 29 дней назад

The mold likely started after the place closed, this redevelopment was probably years in the works. Thanks very much for your comment!!

@pollylewis9611 Месяц назад

Thanks James for going through this huge place for us to see, I have done many resuscitations on a manikin just like that for years lol, just a strange yet awesome building to go through. I like both houses and buildings keeps me guessing on how people lived and worked right, again thank you.

@StaticSpaces 29 дней назад

Ya, I was doing it wrong apparently but if anything it just adds to the comedic effect. Good to know thanks, these bigger locations don't usually do well and this one is no exception so far, oh well. Thanks very much for your comment!!

Loved you doing CPR on the baby 😂 you are funny. I prefer house's with stuff inside of who use to live there that was left behind. I thought this video was fine so whatever you do it's ok with me just giving my opinion. Always interesting why office buildings leave stuff like this , I guess they say we gone lol🙂

@StaticSpaces 25 дней назад

Glad you enjoyed the intro! No, that's great, I like hearing everyone's opinion and yours is very useful! The big locations usually don't do very well, so I sometimes don't bother with them. Thank you very much for your comment!!

Hospital tão bonito da dó ver se destruindo e aquele lugar jorrando água

@StaticSpaces 22 дня назад

It wasn't a hospital, it was an office building, so different companies would have offices in the building. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for your comment!

@summe1972 29 дней назад

Interesting change of pace, really like the video. Do you have any clue what was kept in the big, cork-lined cooler rooms? Seems like such an odd addition to what looks like an otherwise normal office complex.

@StaticSpaces 29 дней назад

I'm really not too sure what the cooler room was used for, maybe it had something to do with the medical business? It was hard to figure out what each office was used for. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks a lot for your comment!!

@GothGuy885 29 дней назад

if I were there, I would be looking for the I.T and server room(s) I bet there were some really interesting Equipment in there, not to take mind you, but just look at it, unless I could get permission first.

@StaticSpaces 28 дней назад

These were individual businesses operating in a larger building, so they probably had their own server areas on a smaller scale than say a large factory. I think they probably took all that equipment with them. Thank you very much for your comment!!

@chillysnowgirl8322 Месяц назад

So much potential in this place! Take all the stray chairs and put them around the pole for a strip club. Or you've got a campground if you pitch a tent next to the fireplace and use the provided tree to cut your own wood. All the stairs (and walking) can serve the purpose of a gym, or simulate hiking in the mountains (plus there's trees painted on some walls). And you even have your own mountain stream (or waterpark) nearby! 😄🙃 A seriously neat explore, complete with the most random stuff inside. Thanks for sharing, and take care! 😊

@StaticSpaces 29 дней назад

It's a pretty bad location for residential, otherwise that would have been the likely redevelopment. Thanks very much for your comment!!

@redneckbryon 26 дней назад

With the housing crisis in Toronto. Demolition shouldn't have been an option for this building. It could have been converted into low-cost rentals or immigrant housing. But Toronto doesn't work that way. 15:30, I would think Blockbuster Video was way more popular here in Canada Vs Rogers Video, since most people don't like Rogers. 17:50, I think this building is more 90s-2000s, not 70s-80s.

@StaticSpaces 26 дней назад

Well I mean it can be done but the land would still have to be purchased and then the building repurposed to do that, it would probably cost more than some that is purpose built for housing. Maybe Blockbuster was more popular, I'm not too sure but I felt the need to explain what Rogers video was for my American friends that likely hadn't heard of it. Then there was also Jumbo video, remember that one? I think the building dates back to the 60s and 70s maybe earlier, considering the art deco looking staircase. But looks like they had done some renovations over the years, maybe the 80s and 90s. Thank you very much for your comment!!
