If nuclear war, climate change, or zombie apocalypse doomsday predictions keep you up at night, here's a real estate investment you may want to consider.

It's a gigantic concrete monolith on the outskirts of Warsaw, Poland, with sliding exterior walls and an aluminum rolldown gate made by a company that normally supplies shipyards, according to the website of Polish architecture firm KWK Promes.
