There are others, but the Survival Condo is the granddaddy of underground bunkers, making optimal use of an Atlas “F” missile base. This formerly used defense site was engineered by the U.S. government in 1960 with nine-foot-thick walls to withstand a nuclear blast.

Florida developer Larry Hall is creating a 15-floor complex with facilities and supplies to support between 36 and 70 people for more than five years while off the grid. Residential condos are available in full-floor and half-floor layouts, with a full floor housing six to 10 people and the half-floor housing three to five. Residents have also been promised access to a zero-edge pool with wall mural, hydroponic food-growing area, exercise facilities, classroom, library, a movie theater, surgery center and an in-house dentist/orthodontist. To monitor what’s happening on the outside, the facility also has a Remotely Piloted Vehicle, equipped with light and thermal-imaging cameras and a military grade security system with “both lethal and non-lethal defensive capabilities.”

After two pending sales go through, only two of the seven residential levels are left, for a total of  two to four more units.
