The Survival Condo Project is no ordinary condo development.
When the apocalypse arrives, life goes on.
That's the possibility some are preparing for, at least.
In 2008, Larry Hall purchased a retired missile silo an underground structure made for the storage and launch of nuclear weapon-carrying missiles for $300,000 and converted it into apartments for people who worry about Armageddon and have cash to burn.

Fortified shelters, built to withstand catastrophic events from viral epidemics to nuclear war, seem to be experiencing a wave of interest in general.
Hall's Survival Condo Project , in Kansas, cost about $20 million to build and accommodates roughly a dozen families. Complete with food stores, fisheries, gardens, and a pool, the development could pass as a setting in the game " Fallout Shelter ," wherein players oversee a group of postapocalyptic residents in an underground vault.
