Doomsday Bunkers for Upscale Tenants
What do you imagine when you hear the phrase “doomsday bunker?”
I picture a very small, cramped living space with a small family gathered around a hand-crank radio, and a bunch of non-perishable food and drinking water off to the side.
Apparently I’ve been thinking too small.
An investor group in Texas – where everything is bigger – is planning something quite a bit larger for those who can afford it, i.e. celebrities.
About 60 miles north of Dallas, they’re building a $300 million luxury complex for those concerned about a dirty bomb or epidemic scenario that would wreak havoc on the human population.
It’s not just about putting people underground, although 90 percent of the living space in the 400 condos will be constructed below the surface. It’s about building a survival community that would be protected from a doomsday situation… in luxury.
The complex is being described as a “five-star resort mixed with DEFCON 1 preparations.” Water and energy production will be off the gird, so they don’t have to worry if the electrical grid goes down. A tunnel network and air purification system are also part of the plan.
The wealthy who could afford to live here following a disaster would not be satisfied with merely existing while the rest of the world is dying. No, that would be too boring.
So, among the plans for the complex are an 18-hole golf course, a high-end spa, gun ranges, shops and restaurants, as well as a row of helipads.
If that’s not enough, the complex will also include an equestrian center, polo fields and 20-acre lakes with white-sand beaches.
Now, the celebrities living on this complex during the apocalypse certainly would not want any surviving riff-raff entering their turf, so the whole place will be protected by 12-foot walls and security folks manning the watchtowers.
Money might not be able to buy happiness, but maybe it can delay the inevitable.
Sounds like a target to me…
Can you imagine all the spoiled left-wing nutcases from Hollywood living their? I would shoot myself in the head instead of hearing 24/7 365 all the nagging & women screaming, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE’S NO ROOM SERVICE.”
I live up here. I know where and there is no reports of anything underground. The golf courses and the beaches are advertised. Along with lots of expensive homes. But no bunkers.
Where will this be at. I will start preparing dimugently to take it.
I have a wine cellar built into the stone mountain under my house. It’s not a huge community sized structure but might work in an emergency, if it was an airtight environment. Can radioactive fallout really be filtered out of the incoming air or do you need to bring in the O2 with you?
Yeah, pictures would have been nice. No mention of the cost. The video indicated above had nothing to do with this alleged complex, and, like Cliff A, above, I guess that I would be one of the vast majority of the Zombie Apocalypse.
Found this information: ECTOR, Texas (KXII) — Ector native Nathan Johnson describes the town as ‘quiet’.
That’s why it came as a shock to him and other residents when they found out about a private resort community being built there.
“I would never expect anything like this big of an ordeal to come in Ector,” Johnson said.
The $300,000,000 project is called Trident Lakes.
The fountain at the entrance can already been seen from Highway 56 and when it’s done, it’ll be one of the biggest in the world.
Trident Lakes spokesman Richie Whitt said Ector gives the Dallas-based developers the land and security they’re looking for.
“It’s an hour north of Dallas-Fort Worth,” said Whitt. “In case of any sort of war or nuclear war or international terrorism, it’s an hour away from what we call ‘the threat zone.’ ”
Trident Lakes plans to have 400 condos, all 90 percent underground.
There will also be an underground tunnel system, a shared greenhouse, a DNA vault and several helipads.
“It’s going to be one of the world’s safest communities, so of course, it will be gated and there will be armed security at all times,” said Whitt.
April Hill lives across the street from where the new neighborhood will be and is worried it’ll change the town for the worse.
“Honestly, it sounds very exclusionary,” said Hill. “A lot of questions are flying around right now about what’s coming, what it’s going to do.”
“If they’re going to be paying taxes to Ector, I mean I think it’s going to be a really good thing,” said Johnson.
Whitt wouldn’t confirm what celebrities have expressed interest, but said Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg did attend an event to dedicate the equestrian center at Trident Lakes.
“It’s not a mosque, it’s not a some cult starting out here,” said Whitt. “It’s just a grand entrance to a very safe, very secure and very swank private country club.”
Whitt expects people to start living there by early 2018.
Nothing but a huge welcome mat for criminals and grasshoppers… They’ll be overrun in a week.
That elegant and luxury place might be also their grave…nobody will escape from the wrath, anger of God…NOBODY
It is built in the shape of a target.
It’s apparent that only the very wealthy are intended to survive.

Dennis – No, this is a new development built from the ground up (pun intended). It is being built near an area I grew up and farmed in as a kid (Ector, TX).
grate tell every one , so when the shit go’s down every one in a 100 miles will come and wont in .. not smart loss lips get folks dead
Well, I live near LA so I guess I will either glow in the dark, become a shadow on the sidewalk, or “The Walking Dead” will get me.
Pictures would have been nice. Was this the missile silo turned townhouses that was shown on Doomsday Preppers some time back?
NO! This is NOT a former missile silo. This is a brand new facility. The former missile silo is in another State.
