In the United States in the late 60s backyard nuclear shelter Being away from home was the most normal thing in the world. There were many reasons to be alarmed by an impending nuclear attack: the communist bloc on the warpath against the United States, armed conflicts in the Middle East, democracies on the brink of social unrest in half the Americas. I’m not eating now.

Today, Silicon Valley’s millionaire preppers have quietly built their mansions with private bunkers in New Zealand or are preparing for a space escape. So, what alternative will the rest of the millionaires have to stay safe in the event of a possible apocalyptic event? Survival Condo has some suggestions for getting a luxury nuclear bunker available only to a few millionaires.

Survival Condo is an American capital company founded by Larry Hill that purchased a Cold War nuclear silo in Kansas in 2010. You can see its interior in detail in the CGTN America television video.

Cold War ruins converted into luxury apartments

The businessman transformed the cold vertical hole that once sheltered Atlas F ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads into a 15-story underground bunker complex of luxury private apartments to protect its inhabitants from the devastating effects of one of these weapons.

In true Fallout 76 style, the hermetic complex has everything necessary to provide its inhabitants with the protection and livelihood necessary to survive the apocalypse for at least five years, but adds extra comfort, too. This is after all A millionaire is a millionaire even in the middle of nuclear winter.

The complex has the capacity to accommodate approximately 75 people, including the venue’s staff, distributed among fully equipped apartments personalized by the owner. Price ranges:

• The smallest apartments of 84 square meters, accommodating three to five people, with one or two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen and a living room, cost 1.5 million.
• $3 million for suites of 170 square meters, for 6 to 10 people, consisting of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, kitchen, dining room and living room.
• The most luxurious option is worth four and a half million dollars for a fully customizable 335 square meter space.

The facility has its own security service, like a private army, and is completely self-sufficient; It integrates an air and water filtration system, hydroponic growing systems and even a dedicated fish farm.

As published Guardian To cite a 1960 report by the US National Science Foundation, one of the main psychological difficulties faced by those forced to be locked in a bunker for long periods of time (in addition to the obvious pressure to survive) is not knowing how long they will stay. Being locked causes “difficulty concentrating, irritability, depression and personality disorders.”

To reduce this impact, complex developers have created common areas. imitating everyday reality In addition to the facilities that everyone can enjoy on the surface, such as a swimming pool and spa, climbing wall, gym, classroom and library, cinema, operating room, there is a screen system throughout the complex that imitates windows overlooking green meadows. A dystopian future accessible to only 1% of the population.
