The ideal place to wait out the end of the world: Survival shelter in Kansas can withstand direct nuclear strike and comes with its own swimming pool, sauna, library, arcade and gym

A man has built a survival shelter, but it’s not just any bunker.

This is a luxury complex in Kansas, USA, where you can spend your days in comfort while the rest of the world is on fire.

Larry Hall, a former US government contractor, has created a ‘Survival Condo’ in Kansas, capable of surviving the end of the world.

It is even capable of withstanding a direct nuclear attack and its reinforced concrete can withstand wind speeds of up to 800 kilometers per hour.

Mr Hall said: ‘This project has the benefits of allowing members to own a piece of history, the coolness of a missile base, the protection of a nuclear-hardened bunker and the features of a luxury apartment.’

Larry Hall bought the $15 million silo in 2008 for just $300,000 (£238,000) and in 2010 transformed a 200-foot deep building into a 15-story luxury building.

There is also a cinema room attached and in addition to the price of buying a unit, owners must spend $2,500 (£1,986) a month to cover living costs.

Behind the eight-ton steel doors are 15 floors, including a swimming pool, sauna and steam room, a library, a classroom, a climbing wall, an arcade, a cinema and a gym to entertain the residents.

The common areas are on the upper levels, while the individual living units sit below.

There is also an aquaponics area where you can grow fresh fruits and vegetables.

But there are also practical facilities such as a medical department, food stores and living quarters to keep any survivors healthy and comfortable.

And if you’re confused about which floor that is, there’s an elevator that tells you if you’re on ‘mechanical level’, ‘shop level’ or ‘medical level’.

It also comes with camo gear, guns and helmets in case you need to deal with intruders.

It is also monitored by security and also has CCTV cameras to keep you safe.

Once a Cold War US government missile silo, it was built in the early 1960s at a cost of $15 million.

It was one of 72 structures built to protect a warhead a hundred times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Nagasaki.

Mr Hall bought the $15 million silo in 2008 for just $300,000 (£238,000) and in 2010 transformed a 200-foot deep building into a 15-storey luxury building.

A maximum of 75 people could stay in the closed bunker for five years.

But that comes at a price, as it costs between $1.5 million (£1.2 million) and $4.5 million (£3.6 million) to buy a spot in the silo.

In addition to the price of buying a unit, owners must spend $2,500 (£1,986) per month to cover living expenses.

Mr. Hall said: All our people are self-made millionaires. They are very successful: doctors, engineers, lawyers, international business people… almost all of them have children. And they worry about the ‘what if’ scenario.’

After a spike in interest following the Covid pandemic, it now has several other structures under development in the US, Europe and Asia.

Speaking to The Guardian, Mr Hall said: ‘So we’re going to have people bake bread and make coffee, people can advertise their yoga class on the cafe’s blackboard, and we’re going to fill this deli box with three different kinds of tilapia that are grown in the adjacent aquaponics facility.’
