Real Estate Porn: Nerd Edition – This amazing structure was built by NetDragon Websoft’s 43-year-old founder Liu Dejian, is the ultimate nerd dwelling –an homage to Star Trek‘s USS Enterprise. The office space for the Chinese game developer is 853-feet long and cost $97 million.
The coastal city of Changle, in China’s Fujian province, got this new landmark late last year but was nearly 5 years in the making. The firm contacted CBS, the TV show’s rights holder, to get permission to build it. NetDragon wrote The Wall Street Journal:
“That was their first time dealing with [an] issue like this and at first they thought that it was a joke. They realized somebody in China actually did want to work out a building modeled on the USS Enterprise only after we sent the relevant legal documents.”
You can just imagine the office Christmas party, replete with multiple Kirks, Spocks and Klingons, right!? It’s particularly convincing from the air, as seen below on Google Maps.
