0:00Up a long driveway along the New Jersey
0:03New York border sits a massive abandoned
0:05office and convention hall. This is the
0:08Palisades IBM conference center. Inside
0:12was an entire self-contained campus
0:14spanning many acres. Over 200 private
0:18guest [music] rooms, large conference
0:20halls and auditoriums, an underground
0:22restaurant, lounges, a full fitness
0:26center, an indoor swimming pool, offices
0:30with personal things left behind, and so
0:32much more.
0:34Everything was carefully planned, clean,
0:37controlled, and professional. A
0:39reflection of IBM itself at the time.
0:42For decades, they weren't just a
0:44technology company. They helped build
0:46the modern world with governments,
0:48banks, [music] and global corporations
0:50relying on their systems. So when IBM
0:54trained its people, it didn't do it in
0:56rented hotel ballrooms. It built places
0:59like this. Ultimately, it was designed
1:02to be in a comfortable atmosphere
1:04[music] where employees, engineers, and
1:06highlevel executives could be brought in
1:08to train, strategize, and focus without
1:11distractions.
1:13For years, it ran successfully, but
1:15corporate priorities quickly changed. As
1:18IBM [music] downsized and its operations
1:21shifted, properties like this became
1:23unnecessary.
1:25In 2016, the company [music] sold the
1:27entire complex to a Chinese-owned
1:29convention and hospitality group for
1:32tens of millions of dollars with plans
1:35to repurpose it as a large-scale
1:37convention and event center.
1:43On paper, it was a success, but after
1:45the sale, they struggled to find
1:47constant use, even turning it into a CO
1:5019 testing center. And by around 2020,
1:54operations were completely shut down.
1:57However, that was only the start of the
1:59problems. A mechanical malfunction
2:02spilled petroleum into the lake on the
2:04property. Pipes burst [music] into the
2:07building, completely flooding the
2:08basements. And at one point, emergency
2:11crews were called, but they were unable
2:13to drive [music] in because of sinkholes
2:15forming along the roadways. As of
2:18recently, vandals have completely
2:20wrecked it, [music] and security has
2:22been put in place, but we were able to
2:24take a look at it in its untouched state
2:26in 2024.
2:28Join me as we explore.
2:32So, as we can see, this place has been
2:34abandoned for, I think, around 2 years.
2:36But, I mean, the driveway is all messed
2:38up. There's literally tree falling. And
2:40this sign, guest registration and
2:42parking just looks so apocalyptic.
2:45We have massive parking lots right here
2:48to the left. Even a helellipad, too.
2:51So, this place is no joke for sure. We
2:53were here a few days ago just kind of
2:55scoping it out, seeing if there was a
2:57way in. And here we are maybe a week
2:59later. So, we know how to get inside. We
3:01know all that where the cool rooms are.
3:04But, I mean, look at this place. It's
3:07huge. Multiple floors. So many acres.
3:11And if we come over here, we can even
3:12see a massive stream just going around
3:16and a little waterfall all the way over
3:18there. And then we have the skywalk kind
3:21of separating the two buildings. There
3:24were koi in this uh little river before.
3:27I don't see it now, but maybe they're
3:29just hiding. Here they are.
3:33That's so weird that they just left
3:34these here when the place got abandoned.
3:37I'm honestly surprised they're still
3:38alive cuz I there was a big sheet of ice
3:42on top of the whole water. So yeah, I
3:46mean good for them for still being
3:48alive. There's even big flock of ducks
3:50over there. So I mean nature and animals
3:53are definitely letting this place
3:54abandoned for sure. I returned back in
3:57the spring to get more footage. You will
4:00see the contrast and seasons later in
4:02the video. All right, folks. So, we're
4:03starting right here in the hotel part
4:05and we're going to explore all the
4:07rooms, see everything that is inside,
4:09and then we're going to move on to the
4:11offices and see everything over there.
4:14But, as you can see, look at how big
4:16this part is. Wow.
4:35This is huge. Great natural lighting as
4:37well.
4:39So, I assume as we go up to the higher
4:41floors, that's where the rooms are going
4:42to be more luxurious, have a lot more
4:45features. So, let's walk into room 214
4:49and kind of compare and contrast them.
4:53Yeah. Everything is left behind.
4:56Dang.
4:58Yeah, even the TV, the remotes,
5:01just the generic uh hotel stuff.
5:05I mean, look at the soap, hair dryer.
5:08So, I presume that's what all the rooms
5:10on this floor are going to look like.
5:11So, let's go upstairs and see some of
5:13those.
5:15Oh, wow.
5:17Little conference area here. I love all
5:20the natural lighting. All the windows
5:21here and the dead plant over there
5:25really brings an apocalyptic view here.
5:28I imagine they could walk out here. I
5:31imagine they could walk out here, take a
5:33breath. It really is in the middle of
5:35nowhere. We're just surrounded by woods
5:37and really foresty area. So, it is
5:41pretty peaceful out here. And just to
5:43bring into perspective how big this
5:45place actually is. Look at how far the
5:48hotel rooms go. And we have like five
5:51floors of this as well.
5:54This is incredible.
6:01Let's see if these rooms are any
6:03different up here on the third floor.
6:06Oh, wow. Yes, they are. Dang. So, here
6:11we have the the kind of living room area
6:12of the room, desk space, and then actual
6:18bedroom.
6:20Now, this is really cool. Yeah. And
6:22these circular windows right at the
6:25corner.
6:27Oh, this is awesome.
6:30They have all these different, you know,
6:32controls here. Wake up call, conference
6:34hall, fitness center.
6:37Seems like we have one more floor. Let's
6:39check that out.
6:41Really starting to get a good view of
6:42this place. Just the scale, [music] just
6:45the natural lighting is incredible, too.
6:49And look at this expensive machinery
6:50left behind. It really shows that they
6:52took nothing with them.
6:55Oh, wow. It's definitely worth a few
6:56grand here. Of course, another dead
6:59plant. Seems like a little tree.
7:04Oh, we got another small room. Again,
7:06this one's not too special.
7:09See this water was $3.
7:12Wow. And look at these vending machines
7:14here. Everything is left behind in them.
7:17This is so apocalyptic.
7:19It looks like some people, you know,
7:20broke the glass. This was very recent
7:24for sure, but probably to, you know,
7:26kind of take the money that was left
7:28behind.
7:31Looks like someone drank some of that
7:33Pepsi. It's kind of half empty.
7:36This is really cool, though.
7:38And here we got the bar area, kind of
7:40the entertainment center for the actual
7:42convention hall. [music] I can imagine a
7:44lot of the guests, you know, grouping up
7:46here at the end of the day, just going
7:49for a party and nice drink here. But the
7:52fascinating thing about this, look at
7:54this.
7:56Wow.
7:57This drink was kind of left behind. And
7:59you could tell this is old because of
8:01the mold buildup there. Oh my gosh.
8:07This was like wine. I believe it's like
8:10everyone had to leave in like a rush.
8:13Like something bad happened in the
8:15middle of the day and everyone had to
8:16evacuate.
8:18We still got all the drinks that haven't
8:20been taken or anything.
8:23Love to see that.
8:25All these beer bottles
8:28of the register. Someone try to, you
8:30know, kind of get in that. Oh my gosh.
8:32This is crazy.
8:36One grilled steak, one salmon. 7:45 p.m.
8:44[music]
8:53It's such an open space. I imagine a lot
8:57of, you know, fun times would have had
8:58here and even the game corner. So that I
9:02think this definitely would have been
9:03the the desired room to be here after a
9:06long day's work. It's a shame someone
9:08like kind of broke this window. Really
9:11sad the disrespect people have. They
9:13don't, you know, care about these
9:14places. I presume a TV would definitely
9:17been over there. Oh, no way. And look at
9:20that. That looks like a raetball court.
9:24And now this area as well is, you know,
9:26this kind of sports hall. We're going to
9:28go downstairs and see the racket court
9:30shortly.
9:31But look at this. We got the pool over
9:34here. And then right below us is the
9:37fullsize gym. Oh, that's like frozen in
9:40time. All the pool toys and everything
9:42left behind. So downstairs we got the
9:44the locker rooms and saunas and then the
9:48fitness center. And so this is kind of
9:50where that begins here.
9:53Whoa.
9:54And look at this. All the equipment.
9:58Oh my gosh.
10:01It feels like the wood is kind of
10:02starting to buckle a little bit. Quite
10:04an echo here, too. We got another
10:06basketball court here, too.
10:09There's a different layout. Yeah, the
10:11the floor is definitely buckling here
10:13without a doubt.
10:16>> Oh, yeah. Oh, this is like raetball or,
10:19you know, squash or something.
10:21Yep. Raet ball rules.
10:25And then [music] pretty much parallel to
10:27the courts here, we have the gym and the
10:30pool.
10:31I'm really excited to see this part. And
10:34when I was here a few months ago, this
10:36door was actually locked and [music] we
10:38had to like crawl through this uh you
10:42know this broken glass part. This is
10:44amazing though.
10:47I can imagine this place when it was
10:49open. Clear blue waters, people all
10:52over, probably launch chairs, [music]
10:53you know, kind of around here.
10:56Wow.
11:00And then the cool thing is behind this
11:02kind of 80s glass windows is the gym.
11:05So, we'll see that, you know, really
11:07soon.
11:17I love these square windows, too. kind
11:19of the the tile decor really, you know,
11:22matches well. And directly outside, we
11:25actually have this, you know, stream and
11:28small waterfall.
11:30So, it brings in, you know, really
11:32ambient noise as you're kind of chilling
11:34here. It seems to be the same depth the
11:38whole time. It doesn't get deeper
11:40anywhere.
11:41Look at this. Here is where we start to
11:43see, you know, a lot of the decay. the
11:46the the ceiling just completely falling
11:48down here.
11:50But all this equipment, there's so much
11:52money in this room just left behind.
11:56And look at this mold just kind of
11:58forming up here. That's so sad. Oh yeah,
12:02the lighting here would have been
12:03incredible.
12:05Light bulbs kind of going around the
12:07windows. Free weights over here. [music]
12:10bench.
12:23Right underneath us, we have the the
12:25stream that kind of goes around the
12:26property.
12:28And we can see the kind of parking lot
12:30from here. And then right under that
12:32kind of glass roof is the main entrance,
12:35kind of the carport where you can get
12:37dropped off.
12:40I mean, looking around in every
12:42direction, all we see is just the
12:44massive building and then the forest.
12:49And then right here, we're approaching
12:50the main entrance. And I love the use of
12:53natural light here because there's no
12:56windows around. There's just these top
12:57ones. And they just shine a beautiful
13:00light [music] right here on these
13:02chairs.
13:04There would have been, you know, potted
13:05plants in between all of them. They're
13:07all like dead and gone now. Yeah. So,
13:10that's where we came from. The guest
13:11rooms, fitness center, and game room.
13:13And this is what you see when you first
13:15walk in here. There actually used to be
13:18a big model of the whole property here
13:20of the whole building [music] and
13:22everything. And it was just taken out.
13:25Very tall ceilings.
13:45They had a lot of nature in this room
13:47and now it's just completely dead. And
13:49it might have been Christmas time, too,
13:51cuz we have, you know, Christmas lights
13:53kind of all over this tree here. And
13:55look how incredible this is.
13:58This was kind of the dining hall right
14:00here. You could eat inside or you could
14:02walk outside here and eat. And look at
14:04how apocalyptic that looks. But I mean,
14:08it's really cool because that part is
14:10actually underground. And so above that
14:12area is a a courtyard. Even this gas
14:16fireplace to greet you as soon as you
14:17walk in.
14:19And right here are the front doors.
14:22There might have been, you know,
14:22probably a door man or, you know,
14:24receptionist
14:26um in this area past this door here. Oh,
14:30yeah. Yep. There we have it. The
14:33reception desk.
14:35So, we have three sets of doors. Wow.
14:38Really cool light. Very modern looking.
14:41Now, we have the classrooms. Watson
14:43room, whatever that is, and the
14:45concierge
14:48probably had these TVs playing, you
14:49know, some promotional uh adverts or,
14:52you know, even a show maybe.
14:55So, before we go in that section, which
14:57is the the offices and convention halls.
15:00Uh we're going to go downstairs here,
15:02check out the dining room and the
15:04kitchen. And it's incredible because all
15:06the food is left behind. It's like
15:09everyone just vanished completely. Look
15:12at this. This part is actually still
15:13alive. And I think people were kind of
15:15dumping their drinks here. And that just
15:18barely saved this part of the plant.
15:22That's so cool. So this is what happens
15:24as soon as you walk down the stairs. We
15:26have the the kind of cashier here kind
15:28of to bring you to the dining hall over
15:31there.
15:33Yeah. Some vandals definitely ripped
15:35out. The money took it all. But I mean,
15:39the trash can's still full. The menus
15:42right here on the bottom, the cocktails,
15:45even someone's shoe, probably a worker's
15:47uniform.
15:50And then directly to the left is all the
15:53different restaurants.
15:55And look how cool this is. This display
15:58here full of, you know, alcohol and
16:01everything. I imagine there would have
16:03been probably like 10, 20 different
16:06restaurants here all serving different
16:08types of food. Really cool that. I mean,
16:11everything is left here still. The
16:13takeout boxes, the colory,
16:16maybe had like a buffet style table
16:20right here under the chandelier. Think
16:22that's definitely what it was.
16:24Here's like the kitchen for anybody
16:26curious.
16:28Everything's still kind of here, but I
16:31almost missed this room.
16:34All the wine. That's got to be not not
16:37too old. Probably still drinkable.
16:46Holy cow.
16:49It's left just as it was. All neatly
16:52stacked.
16:54I think they had this hose to pump water
16:56out of the basement. I remember reading
16:58something about a massive, massive leak
17:01[music] that happened down there. And I
17:03mean, because of that, the whole thing
17:05is covered up and down with black mold.
17:08I think that's the reason they have this
17:09here now.
17:12But look at this. Wow. And here are the
17:15skylights that we saw, you know, before.
17:17[music]
17:18So, right above us is a courtyard. You
17:20could like walk up here.
17:27I love how everything is still set up.
17:30There's not a piece of graffiti
17:32anywhere. Nothing's trashed.
17:37Oh, and this the the dishwashing station
17:39right here.
17:41It does smell like food in here, not
17:43going to lie.
17:45And all the dishes are left behind. All
17:48this kind of the the cleaning station
17:51kind of the belt. It goes around. This
17:53looks like food was left behind here.
17:57I think that's what happened. Yeah. Wow.
18:00So these were the the dirty plates up on
18:03these shelves here. And they even had a
18:05buffet [music] area right here too. So
18:09they had a lot of options without a
18:10doubt.
18:13Another view of, you know, a little bit
18:14decay happening.
18:17Wow.
18:19This is awesome.
18:21This is such a big room.
18:23Look at this.
18:26And we have speakers on like every
18:28corner. stereo systems, everything.
18:32And we even have some private dining
18:34rooms here, too. And this is what they
18:36would have looked like. So, you could
18:38probably, you know, have a meal during a
18:40meeting. I even see a place to put down
18:43a a kind of projector screen right
18:45there.
18:46Some great natural decay.
18:49This kind of rust water just building up
18:51on the carpet.
18:53Yeah. And these are all dining rooms.
19:00Even this ATM left behind. This place
19:03was probably abandoned with all the
19:04money in there. And it looks like
19:06someone kind of broke in and took all
19:09the money from inside. This really shows
19:11how quickly this place closed. So now
19:14here we are back in the lobby and we're
19:17going to continue through this kind of
19:19small skyway over to the classrooms
19:23and Watson room. [music] Right outside
19:26we have a good view of the driveway just
19:28all overgrown. All the vines on the
19:31pillars and we have a little bit of rain
19:32coming down. Really adds to the mood.
19:35And this is what I was talking about
19:37before. You kind of walk on top of the
19:40actual dining room. And this is what I
19:42was talking about before. You can walk
19:43on top of the dining room. We have the
19:45little path and then the grassy area
19:47which would be maintained once upon a
19:49time.
19:52And now this is where we have kind of
19:53the offices, the classrooms, that type
19:56of stuff right here. This kind of the
19:58main lobby for that area.
20:02And then look at this.
20:05Wa.
20:08All those lights up top. I'm sure a lot
20:10of big presentations would happened
20:12here. We have the the three projector
20:14screens as well.
20:22Oh, look at this. Yeah, this is really
20:24cool. And we have like a really good
20:27view of the front entrance to this place
20:29as well. The kind of circular driveway
20:31up here and the glass roof.
20:35Yeah, we got a bunch of storage and
20:37cleaning equipment back here.
20:41They probably did a service where they
20:43could do laundry for you. they would
20:45come to your room, just take your
20:46clothes and then bring it back when it's
20:48already done. So now we have two levels
20:51we could check out here. And then from
20:53there it kind of branches off to, you
20:55know, a third floor and fourth floor as
20:56well. I think we'll start down here and
20:58then we'll move on later on. So we got
21:01classrooms, telephones, restrooms, and
21:03elevators over here in this section. So
21:06yeah, so along this hallway, we just
21:08have a lot of different conference
21:09rooms. Definitely, you know, a lot
21:11smaller than the main one we saw just
21:13now, but there there has to be, you
21:16know, hundreds of them. Oh, this natural
21:19decay right here is amazing, too.
21:21There's some moss just growing on the
21:23carpet.
21:25Wow. There's black mold and moss just
21:28growing on the carpet.
21:30That's incredible.
21:33And this is one of the the nourishment
21:35hubs that they had. And I imagine this
21:38would have been this table at least
21:40would have been filled with, you know,
21:42cups and, you know, different drinks,
21:44snacks,
21:46all that type of stuff. So, this was
21:48like a full-on professional conference
21:51hall. You know, they catered to
21:52everyone. I'm sure it was, you know,
21:55pretty expensive as well.
21:58Yeah. And a business center, too.
22:01I'm sure all these cubicles, you know,
22:03had like a computer to it, maybe a
22:06printer, fax machine.
22:10Oh, we actually have one over there. Fax
22:12machine. But yeah, this is definitely
22:15really professional business center. And
22:17you can just walk out those doors, get
22:20some fresh air, too.
22:22And these individual rooms right over
22:25there, that would have been for, you
22:26know, telephones. um if you could have
22:28like a private call. And I'm sure this
22:31is kind of soundproof right here as
22:33well. And then as we continue going on,
22:36all these rooms on the left are just,
22:39you know, different classrooms.
22:41This reminds me of kind of like a
22:42college campus.
22:44Especially this room. It seems like this
22:48whole hallway is just pretty much the
22:50same thing. Yeah. Another nourishment
22:52hub, but then more, you know, phone
22:55stations. though. And we end off the
22:57first floor with once again another
22:59nourishment hub and then doors. Dang,
23:03they had a lot of these. I don't know
23:05why they had so many of them. There's no
23:07really point and having like five in
23:10just one small corridor.
23:12And this kind of is the end of the
23:14property building wise. I mean, we have
23:16tennis courts all the way at the end. A
23:19lot of other places to relax and hang
23:21out, but this is the end of the
23:23buildings.
23:25Look at that massive camera. Definitely
23:28outdated.
23:29We have a really good view of all the
23:31buildings and the property. I mean,
23:32that's the hotel place we were just in
23:34before. And I mean, you could see the
23:36span of it, how far it just goes back. I
23:39mean, the camera really doesn't describe
23:41how big this place actually is.
23:45Now, here we are on the second floor.
23:48Wow, look at this. And this is actually
23:51level to the land outside. So, I don't
23:53know. This place is kind of built on a
23:54an incline.
23:57Striker trauma 2011.
24:02What?
24:05Yeah. So, this was some like medical
24:07classroom here. Look at all this
24:10equipment left. Look at the boards. They
24:13still have, you know, kind of the
24:15classroom writing to it. And now the
24:19second floor. It seems like pretty much
24:21an exact copy of what we saw down below.
24:24You know, the nourishment hub on the
24:26right, the phone calls on the left, but
24:29this one is actually really cool because
24:32everything is left behind.
24:34Yeah. So, this is a really good view of
24:36what this would have looked like, you
24:37know, before we had all the drinks here.
24:44M&M's
24:48probably for, you know, fruits and
24:49vegetables up here. Oh, and this is the
24:52the courtyard right above the dining
24:54hall. A good view of that.
24:58And this uh business center kind of like
25:01a mini lobby. You could talk to someone
25:03about, you know, maybe uh getting a room
25:05or something.
25:07But look at this. It's all of it left
25:10behind.
25:13So this was all of their stuff, their
25:15you know personal belongings all left
25:18behind.
25:20This is unreal. And that's them. [music]
25:23You know the kind of workers here. So
25:25it's calendar January 2019. Well, that's
25:292020.
25:30So maybe you closed because of co to
25:33Gino. I'll miss working with you every
25:35day. I know I'll always be your favorite
25:38conference planning partner. You are the
25:40best. [music]
25:41We actually have some prices. So, wine
25:43glass $9,
25:46beer six, five. So, just regular prices,
25:51just the of course upcharged, but
25:55and that that right there in the picture
25:57on the left,
25:59that is a photo back when this was still
26:02active. That's the the skywalk and then
26:04the kind of stream underneath it.
26:10Yes. So, this one's frozen in time, too.
26:12Everything's left here.
26:15Yeah. And a buffet buffet section, too.
26:18But it seems like, you know, it's the
26:19same thing over and over again. So,
26:21we're going to move on.
26:24I imagine it's going to be pretty
26:26similar to what we already saw, but I'm
26:28sure there's going to be some new rooms
26:30cuz this part does go back quite a lot.
26:33Seems to have like offices just lining
26:36up throughout there.
26:38Okay, so we have more call centers than
26:41the refreshment areas
26:44and then a lot more rooms. Room C370 is
26:48a massive conference hall right here. A
26:52lot of modern lights up top.
26:58You've been on this section for a while
27:00now. Is there anything like really cool
27:01to see? Yeah. I mean, this section that
27:03we're in right now, it looks like the
27:05there was like an IBM um headquarters
27:07that kind of stayed in this wing. And
27:09then the the wings A, B, and C, there's
27:12like looks like it was for guests. Uh
27:15there's like mugs still set up, like big
27:18sky [music] rooms, probably five of
27:19those. And um everything's just kind of
27:23left just as it was. There's massive
27:25theater rooms in A, B, and C as well.
27:27Just all the chairs are there. And
27:29they're all kind of different, too. It's
27:31really cool. Uh I just I don't know how
27:34not much was taken from here. [music]
27:36It's all just kind of left around.
27:38>> So in this section we have the training
27:40and development area. And so maybe this
27:42was a like some sort of technical
27:44school.
27:49Yeah, just some industrial stuff.
27:54Oh, interesting. Okay, so this section
27:56is actually locked.
27:59Hm.
28:01So, we have just a lot of office
28:02cubicles in here. Well, I suppose let's
28:06uh head up the stairs and we can see
28:08what's up here.
28:13Wow, look at all these papers.
28:16Dang. So, this is from 2009. [music] The
28:20minimum wage was 725.
28:23Another coffee bar type of thing.
28:26Hallway full of offices. This one's
28:28actually unlocked.
28:32This is fascinating. Yeah. So, this was
28:34everyone's like individual cubicle kind
28:37of thing. They had a lot of these here.
28:41Bunch of keys were left in this one. And
28:44we also have a view of kind of all the
28:46roads that lead up to this building.
28:49All abandoned and decaying.
28:51[music]
28:55Same basic stuff pretty much. It's a
28:57chair. Trash can.
29:01They might have taken all the computers
29:02out.
29:05What? Look at this one. Big meeting room
29:08presentation area.
29:11Yeah. Seems like some local kids have
29:13found this place.
29:17They're playing hangman,
29:19just writing a bunch of gibberish.
29:22Luckily, they kept it just on these uh
29:25kind of screens [music] and not on the
29:27walls or anything. So, that's good.
29:33The room signing sheet.
29:37So, it seems [music] like this place
29:38just doubled as a hotel, convention
29:41center, and then even offices for
29:44different companies. It was that big.
29:48very modern kind of lunchroom area or
29:50hangout spot.
29:54This place just doesn't fail to surprise
29:56me. There's always just new stuff on
29:58every corner.
30:00I thought we were going to be done like
30:0330 minutes ago, but no, there's always
30:04more. Even all these phones left behind.
30:08Flip phones.
30:11Now, up here on the the third floor,
30:12this is where the actual offices are.
30:15Oh my gosh.
30:19Holy cow.
30:22What happened here?
30:24All of their personal belongings are
30:26left behind.
30:30This beats box goggles,
30:34a medicine,
30:37and all of the offices, the cubicles are
30:40just like this, too.
30:43Here's another one.
30:46A lot of valuables in here. Look at all
30:48this.
30:50Maybe some IT room.
30:52Definitely.
30:54What's this?
30:57Guest room technology team.
30:59The power and
31:02yeah. Some kind of storage
31:04parts. If you know something broke, they
31:07can come here fix it up.
31:09Look at the heavy lock here too. Wow.
31:12They really try to keep this secure.
31:16Fourth floor C-section. Just seems to be
31:19a ton of offices.
31:22Lucky for us, the doors actually open.
31:25So on the right, we have the individual
31:27queue. [music] Oh my gosh.
31:30What?
31:32This is incredible.
31:34Oh my goodness. I mean, all his personal
31:37things are still here.
31:40papers, his mug,
31:42passwords,
31:44FBI most wanted
31:47expenses,
31:49even the cubicles of everything left
31:51behind. All the paper folders and
31:55plants. This whole place reminds me of
31:57like Fukushima
31:59with everything just left behind.
32:03Just incredible.
32:06And just to think that every single
32:08cubicle and office room has everything
32:11left behind.
32:13This one's locked.
32:16That one is too, I believe.
32:20Yeah, like uh original writing is still
32:23on the board.
32:25Oversold room types.
32:28Some of them are locked, but most of
32:29them are still open, which is gives us a
32:32great view of how this place used to go.
32:35It's just insane.
32:39>> As of now, the property is no longer in
32:41use and remains under private ownership.
32:45Redevelopment plans have been discussed,
32:46but due to the scale of the site,
32:49environmental issues, and structural
32:51damage, any future project would likely
32:54require extensive demolition and
32:56remedation.
32:57The existing buildings are not expected
32:59to reopen in their current state. And
33:02whatever moves forward here, the complex
33:04as it once existed is effectively
33:07finished.
33:08Thank you for watching.
