Nazi air raid shelter may become luxury penthouse

Mr Boros may have come to the rescue with his plans to lend one of the city’s ugliest buildings a touch of flair. He plans to turn the top of the bunker into a penthouse measuring 450 square metres that would be Berlin’s most luxurious city centre apartment. However he refused to disclose what he paid for the building or how much the conversion will cost.
