Usage Note

Undécimo is the ordinal for 'eleventh' and is often shortened in informal or journalistic use to 11.º (masculine) or 11.ª (feminine). It agrees in gender and number: undécima planta (eleventh floor). In everyday speech, especially for large ordinals, Spanish speakers sometimes substitute the cardinal: el piso once instead of el undécimo piso.
