Doomsday company seeks ‘average’ buyers for its 575 bunkers — for $55K each

In South Dakota’s Black Hills mountain range, an end times-focused real estate agency of sorts called Vivos is looking to offload hundreds of catastrophe-ready apartments at $55,000 a pop.

Unlike other bunker retailers, they’re not targeting billionaires or Armageddon-obsessives — but basic buyers who are aware that the world is a mess and it’s good to be ready for whatever may come.

“Our members are neither ‘preppers’ nor the ‘elite 1%’, but rather well-educated, average people with a keen awareness of the current global events and a sense of responsibility knowing they must care for and protect their families during these potentially epic and catastrophic times,” explained Vivos’ executive director, Dante Vicino, Jam Press reported. “Their economic profile is also diverse, from lower middle-class incomes to high-net-worth individuals.”

Investing in a Vivos bunker, Vicino went on, is investing in a “life assurance [for] when all hell breaks loose … When everyone else is scrambling for a solution, our members will journey to their designated shelter, joined by hundreds of like-minded people, all prepared to lock the blast door and ride out whatever threats may be going on above.”

Located on an 18-mile former army base, the 575 bunkers are reportedly capable of fitting up to 10,000 people and providing everything necessary for a year of human survival.

Before becoming economical Judgement Day condos, the bunkers were used for bomb and munition storage from 1942 to 1967.

A variety of layouts are available, the smallest of which offers four twin rooms, a double bedroom and one bathroom. The largest of features eight single bedrooms and three bathrooms.

Interest, says Dante, is through the roof, and Vivos is also currently working on constructing a bunker community in Germany.

“Inquiries and applications are up over 2,000% year over year, plus sales are up over 300% and growing exponentially,” he said. “Everyone seems to be jumping off the fence and wanting an immediate survival solution.”
