"This facility has lots of potential in whatever way you choose to go. A home, apartments or a Bed and Breakfast are just some ideas." I laughed out loud at the bread and breakfast idea after seeing the photos.

To be fair, I'll bet there's quite a lot of people who'd stay there as one of those AirBnB experiences.

There's a whole market of doomsday preppers who would absolutely buy in at whatever price you set it. Luxury condos in old silos are a thing. And the cost of excavating, building, and reinforcing the structure is far more than the cost to refurbish the inside of it.

Larpers would pay big bucks to run around a place like this shooting paintballs or airsoft at each other. Set it up so the above ground barracks has some nice PC/Consoles to play with in the evenings, some hot pockets and Mt. Dew for breakfast and let them larp all day with their buddies for $300/person/day.

  $400 and you'll throw in a free tetanus injection. That place looks like an OH&S nightmare. You just need one fat kid to fall down the main shaft and things get real quick.

    Yeah, this seems to be the main issue with this, fixing it up to be in compliance with a myriad of either business/residential regulations seems like it would be both a giant headache and a giant cost.

  $300/person/day and you're serving them hot pockets and Mountain Dew for breakfast?

    Cause that's 70% of a larper's diet and what they requested.
