Realtor gives an inside look to ‘dystopian' building where 20,000 residents never need to go outside

A realtor has offered a look inside an enormous 'dystopian' apartment building in China.

Located in Qianjiang Century City in Hangzhou’s central business district, the building is called the Regent International, and offers a huge range of amenities to residents.

This includes everything from gyms to supermarkets to swimming pools, and even things like hairdressers.

It's up to the point that you might not even ever need to leave the building itself to get everything you need in your day-to-day life.

The enormous building has space to accommodate up to 30,000 residents, though it currently houses a slightly lower number of 20,000.

Still, that's a lot of people living in just one building.

Facilities inside the complex include a massive food court, barber shops, nail salons, supermarkets, swimming pools, and even internet cafes.

Regent International has previously gone viral on social media as a result of TikTok videos about the myriad amenities that it offers to residents.

Now images from a real estate agent show what residents can expect to have while they're inside the building itself.

The result is some pretty impressive interiors, with flats that have a selection of different layouts.

In addition to this, the interior is also festooned with marble hallways, which give the place a rather luxurious and grandiose feel inside.

Whether it's somewhere that people might find to be a utopia of convenience, or a dystopian nightmare is something entirely entirely however.

But just how much does it cost to actually live in this enormous complex of apartments?

If you want one of the smaller apartments without windows, yes, no actual windows, then this will set you back less.

These apartments commonly rent for around 1,500 RMB ($220) per month.

But what if you want something with actual sunlight coming in, which would seem understandable.

A larger apartment will come with a balcony, offering a bit of outdoor space as well as that all important sunlight, and can set you back about 4,000 RMB ($550) each month.

It's not bad at all is it really, all things considered.

But why have so many amenities inside?

Well, the construction company which built the complex, called The Broad Group, explained that this is to do with reducing traffic levels.

The company has estimated that the building will keep at least 2,000 cars off the streets by removing residents' need to travel long distances for their amenities.

It's aimed at graduates and students who are close to graduating, and is also popular with young professionals including influencers, as well as people who own small businesses.
