Hi Sam,

This has been around for many years. There are not any plans to
actually build it.

Best regards,

But to bring you to the "real" world.

There does exist a traveling "condo" ship.
(World of ResidenSea) that has been built and is operating. A
sister ship is under plans/in construction.

Condos are in 1000 - 2000 sqft size and sold for $2000 a sqft.

So you are saying that the condos used as tourist sites were a
pain so the condo owners purchased the ownership of the ship
from the builders (which I saw).

Sounds like the condo did not want to be a hotel; nothing that
says that the "real estate" project was a failure.

The prospects for building a second condo are still there. Just
keep the low rent crowd off the decks.

More of a chicken and egg thing. Sales weren't what they owners had
forecasted, they rented units (for revenue and to attract potential
owners), condo owners got ****ed over the riff-raff, circle again.

It wasn't a purchase either but a 99 year lease.

Viable? Probably? But Residensea may have been the pioneer......and got the
proverbial arrow in the back of the head to show for it.
