What 2020 showed me is that it’s not too bad an idea to have a doomsday bunker. Somewhere nearby. Just in case. And there’s still a month left to this year, so we might need those bunkers handy if the internet’s jokes about an alien invasion and a zombie apocalypse turn out to be true.
If you’re shopping for a bunker and you’ve got enough gold doubloons to sink a pirate ship, you might want to draw inspiration from this bunker north of Wichita, in Kansas, which sells 3-million-dollar full-floor condos (the cheapest half-floor ones cost 1.5 million dollars while penthouse suites can be bought for 4.5 million dollars). We don’t know the exact location of this 20k-square-foot doomsday-proof underground building, but that doesn’t mean we’re short on other details.
What used to be a Cold War missile silo built by the US government was turned into luxury condos. The Survival Condo Project, which is behind everything, states that up to 75 people can live in the bunker for a whopping 5 years. And you’d really be living in the lap of luxury there. The bunker has everything from a general store and a library to a medical center and bar. Just be prepared to pay the monthly 5k-dollar residents’ association fees.
Check out the video about the doomsday bunker in Kansas right here
North of Wichita, the bunker is a repurposed US government missile silo

It goes deep underground…
Image credits: survivalcondo
15 storeys deep, in fact, and it can survive a nuclear blast
Image credits: survivalcondo
The mega-bunker is full of luxury condos that turn surviving the Apocalypse into thriving underground
Image credits: survivalcondo
The bunker can hold up to 75 people (12 families) and has enough resources for them to survive up to 5 years
Image credits: survivalcondo
The 20k-square-foot project has everything that’s needed to live through a doomsday scenario
Image credits: survivalcondo
The project has redundant electric sources so there’s enough power no matter what happens
Image credits: survivalcondo
Inside, there’s everything that you’ll ever need (and you won’t get bored easily)
Image credits: survivalcondo
There’s even a general store inside the mega-bunker
Image credits: survivalcondo
Fans of the cinema will be glad to know there’s a home theater here as well
Image credits: survivalcondo
Image credits: survivalcondo
The condos have all the appliances and comforts you’d expect from a home
Image credits: survivalcondo
Image credits: survivalcondo
The exact location of the repurposed missile silo is a well-kept secret
Image credits: survivalcondo
Security is the name of the game and there’s even a command and control center
Image credits: survivalcondo
There’s a lift that can take you to any floor you need
Image credits: survivalcondo
And a pool to cool off and get some cardio exercise in
Image credits: survivalcondo
Not to mention a rock climbing wall…
Image credits: survivalcondo
…and a gym, so you can leave the bunker fitter than you went in, hopefully
Image credits: survivalcondo
Here are some more pics from inside the project
Image credits: survivalcondo
The kitchens look modern and stylish
Image credits: survivalcondo
While the bedrooms are comfy and don’t look like something underground
Image credits: survivalcondo
There’s enough room for all of your things
Image credits: survivalcondo
And there’s even a medical center in case you have any health issues
Image credits: survivalcondo
Image credits: survivalcondo
Some of the passageways look like they wouldn’t be out of place in a metro station
Image credits: survivalcondo
Did we mention the place has a gun range? Not a bad idea if there’s ever a Zombie Apocalypse
Image credits: survivalcondo
They also installed aquaponic farming systems
Image credits: survivalcondo
Here’s a few more photos showing the various nooks and crannies of the project
Image credits: survivalcondo
Image credits: survivalcondo
Dog lovers will be glad to know there’s a park for their best buddies
Image credits: survivalcondo
And there are plenty of activities for everyone else during downtime, too
Image credits: survivalcondo
For those of us who love books, we’re in luck! There’s an underground library, too

Whether it’s a global pandemic, a nuclear disaster, Mother Nature throwing disaster after disaster our way, or a financial collapse, having 9-feet-thick walls and being 15 stories underground can make you feel safe.
According to Business Insider, Larry Hall bought the missile silo for 300k back in 2008 and immediately began work on turning it into a high-end bunker. Hall and his team spent nearly 20 million dollars on the project that allows 12 families to survive even a direct nuclear impact.
The bunker has everything that you’d expect from something as high-end as this: it has 3 redundant power supplies, 3 separate water sources, a water filtration system, aquaponic farming, as well as hydroponic food. It sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it’s reality.
Of course, just having the bare minimum things for survival is no way to live. So the bunker also comes with a gym, swimming pool, movie theater, rock climbing wall, and… even a dog park. So it’s safe to say that you’re bound to come out of the bunker fitter than you went in.
Hall explained that discipline, productivity, and keeping busy are incredibly important for keeping things running and for mental health. So he suggests that people work 4-hour days and rotate jobs every month.
And if you’re interested… Hall and his team are working on converting a second missile silo into a bunker. It’s going to be thrice as big as this one and we can’t wait to see what the final product looks like.
Since Americans have proven that they can't even survive being forced to stay in their house for 3 weeks, this bunker is useless.
I'd give it a couple weeks before one of the morons inside screams it's his constitutional right to be able to open to door if he wants to, killing everyone inside.
Load More Replies...Great, just what we need - more bullshit that only benefits the super wealthy... who, judging from all the quarantine breakdowns, would probably throw a tantrum about not having a beautiful mansion to play around in. Stop phrasing it with "you" & "us," we are not the target audience for this ridiculousness & never will be because, believe it or not, we're not the greedy whiney brats known as millionaires.
This also the reason why rich people do not give a flying hot sh*t about climate change or nuclear war. They think they’re gonna love through it on luxury, (Hint: They won’t!) And I have no idea what effect it will have on the hundred or so people who would be trapped in the bunker, when they realize the world above them is probably gone, they can’t leave....and this is now their prison.
Load More Replies...Recents events have shown us that if you ask people to stay inside à few weeks for their own safety, they won't give a f**k. And we won't talk about wearing an equipment that could protect them from radiations. Pretty sure that about one week after Doomsday, some asshole will run outside, leaving all doors open, screaming "my libertyyyyy" and will doom all the other in the bunker.
Gun range, no books in the library, undisclosed location, can survive (zombie) apocalypses...Sounds like a MAGA/Qanonsense paradise...If you're a rich right-wingnut. Not necessarily a bad idea, though. We could lock them down there and be rid of 75 of their "best and brightest".
QAnonense so accurate! I lost a good friend to that cult, so that’s why I hate them and Trump so much.
Load More Replies...I never understood "apocalypse bunkers" for government heads of state and rich people. What's the point? You do NOT need lawyers, bureaucrats, rich, movie stars, athletes, etc, if the apocalypse comes you need farmers, small engine mechanics and engineers, doctors, dentists, books, seeds, farm and social animals, you DO NOT NEED BUREAUCRATS. They are worthless and contribute nothing but confusion and obfuscation. You need people who know how to do things, not people telling them how to do it who have NO IDEA what they are talking about.
Since we can spend millions in saving 12 reaaallly wealthy families and provide them with a pool to chill in while the Earth burns, we surely can save the Earth. Why worry about doom when 75 humans will be safe and supeeerr relaxed. They'll surely reinhabit and save mankind. All our hopes now lie in the 12 very wealthy people who'll not let humanity die. Duh duh duh duh

Has anyone read WOOL by Hugh Howey? Any of the Silo series....... this is.... ah boy.
I just read the Silo Series, and this post looks eerily similar to what I imagined in the books! Of course, the silos in the books were larger and didn't have the luxuries in these condos. Very cool!
Load More Replies...Swell. It's bad enough to have some sort apocalypse. Then we've got to put up with these entitled assholes surviving.
A fresh fish counter during an apocalypse where you're living underground? What will be on display, cans of tuna? The whole thing is grotesque. If it ever comes to this, I truly hope that those left up top will barricade those selfish assholes inside for all time. It's those who are raping the Earth now and destroying ecosystems and entire species who think they will be able to hunker down and wait it out while the rest of us die from a lack of resources. Money won't protect anyone for long in a true apocalypse.
Yeah, let's just park a few trucks at the main gate of this trash heap, wait a few months, and steal anything left inside.
Load More Replies...Maybe instead of having only 1 bunker, they could have about 5 bunkers per state (250 bunkers in total). Then, they could hold more people
Sincerely, don't know what to say. It's a neat project indeed but definitely worthless when things would start to go really haywire. How the people inside is supposed to live/thrive inside this very expensive looking vault, when the stocks of food and the rest will run out ? There will be a count like for "hide & seek" in order to choose who's going to get supplies outside, in a probably radiation-torn wasteland ? Hydroponics are useful but when you want a bite from an hamburger, what will happen ? Not everybody can live off quinoa and avocados for all the time while being stuck inside.
No one is going to go in there, one of the ideas is that they do a rotation themselves, being the ones who maintain and clean the place, I don't see a way for the super rich to do the maintenance work, or as cleaners, they are going to demand maintenance in the place, and that would only make people who work into slaves, since the money would be worth zero.
Exactly! Whose gonna keep the place running, fix those meals, keep the place clean? Whose gonna do that and not get paid for it? I don’t see the wealthy inhabitants being able to do any of it, and their need to establish hierarchies wherever they go will most assuredly result in the destruction of all of them!
Load More Replies......Are there ADHD meds in the health area? Cause if now we gone have a problem with my fam...
No need to worry about that, these bunkers are for millionaires because apparently only the rich have the right to survive.
Load More Replies...American Horror Story had something very similar to this on one of thier seasons.
A large mass grave. When the dome is destroyed, there is no possibility of reaching the surface due to the lack of emergency exits.
Yes I'm so happy for the 1 percenters that will survive the apocalypse ...
enjoy your seclusion while you can..... youre gonna have to come out at some point.
great, and after 5 years this 75 peoples become rats and start to eat each other, because after a real nuke war, you have to know that outside is not safe for at least 20 years........and...The exact location of the repurposed missile silo is a well-kept secret....doomsday bunker in Kansas right here North of Wichita...... LOL
And just how are these millionaires supposed to live in this Onepercenter's haven/hellhole, without having any peons to order around, maintaining these tech systems, producing their food, keeping their water clean, their sewer system unblocked & - above all - all that nice clean air available for them to breathe..? I give them a week before they run out of air 'cause no-one knows how to do anything but call for a servant & they're too damned arrogant/ignorant to try & learn for themselves... [ Think Planet Miranda from the movie Serenity ]
"in fact, and it can survive a nuclear blast" - nope, sorry to ruin the fun but... well ok the bunker might. But having been in a real, testet by the Soviets (they built one dropped a nuke on it, and when it was good enough rebuilt it somewhere else), nuclear bunker this thing is a death trap in case of a nuclear blast. The shockwave is moving the walls up to 1 meter on instant and everybody standing close to one would be knocked to death by it. So real nuclear bunkers are completely suspended with a gap of said meter to the outside walls. Also better have oxidising panels in that doors otherwise the heat melts them shut and there is no way of getting out.
"Redundant energy sources". Though the bunker might survive an atomic explosion, those windmills and solar panel surely aren't.
Anything that happens that makes you need this kind of bunker is not somethign I'd WANT to survive. And then you come out of this luxury appartemtn to what exactly? This is just a waste of money
The only way these survival bunkers will ever work for the ruling class is " IF THEY KNOW AHEAD OF TIME".
the place will be overrun by people who will break in... you didn't show us the arsenal or built-in defenses...
Panic Attack City! Just getting under ground to the second level would make me nauseous, with anxiety rising up from my gut, up into my head. Good exposure therapy though. If I could afford to live in such a place I probably would not bother. I would probably not like the company of people who would live in a doomsday bunker. Am I wrong to assume that the residents would mostly be paranoid and scary?
Nope, the residents would be selfish entitled rich brats who think they're better than everyone else. They would spout nonsensical "We're all going through hard times" bullshit from the safety of their million-dollar bunkers while everyone outside dies from whatever disaster is going on.
Load More Replies...Imagine sitting on top of 5 years' worth of 12 families' waste material... Not enough scented candles in there
Locked up with a large numberof people? No thanks, I'll stay outside.
So let me get this straight: in the event of an apocalypic disaster, only the richest people get help and safety and the rest of us are left to fend for ourselves? ...oh wait. That's pretty much what just happened.
I'd rather take my chances up top than spending years stuck in this nightmare of American home decor and furnishings. Bah!
Looks good enough to keep out antifa...and nice touch with the shooting range for any that slip through ;)
