A luxurious members-only ‘doomsday’ bunker with AI-powered medical suites and indoor pools is being developed in the US. Set to open next year, the multimillion-dollar project is designed to shelter the world’s super-rich in the event of an apocalyptic disaster. The US-based company SAFE (Strategically Armored & Fortified Environments), which specializes in secure property designs, unveiled plans to build the $300 million fortress in Virginia, just outside Washington, earlier this month.
The project named Aerie is set to open in 2026, and could house 625 wealthy individuals in the event of a global disaster, according to the company. The underground bunker, featuring robotic medical suites, a lavish indoor swimming pool, a bowling alley, a climbing wall and gourmet dining will offer clients the chance to survive, if they can afford the entry fee – an investment of $20 million per person. “The whole reason Aerie came to be is that after building multimillion-dollar sanctuaries for our clients on their estates and superyachts, they still traveled away from their protected homes to locations with a lower level of protection,” Al Corbi, SAFE’s founder and president told Forbes last week.
Aerie, which resembles a high-end resort, will offer guests a set of luxury amenities including advanced medical centers where clients can receive treatment for ailments and access lifesaving therapies using AI-powered tools, as well as a variety of “wellness programs.” Accordin.
