Christie's International Real Estate is partnering with Dutch Docklands to present to the world's elite, the first portable private islands. The Amillarah Private Islands will create custom, self-sufficient private islands, with the base of the island being able to last over 100 years. The islands will also create an underwater habitat for sea life, while leaving hardly any negative impact on the environment. They will also be immune to the natural environment weather, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and tsunami's, as well as rising sea levels.
From the shape and size of the island, to hammock style, the islands are completely customiziable for the owner. Christie's and Dutch Docklands hold contracts in places like New York, Dubai, and the Maldives to be able to place islands in these popular vacation spots. So, pick and create your own Heaven on Earth.
I think this is a brilliant creation. It opens up a world of possibilities for many other possible water based structures. Sure, for right now this is something that is only really available to the extremely wealthy, but years from now, small towns and cities could be developed. With the exponentially growing human population, it's very possible that we may run out of natural land for everyone to live on. With the Earth's surface being about 71% water (usgs.gov), these man made islands will just be helping mankind take advantage of space we previously could not. Also, with the advancement of Green technology, this could be an opportunity to clean up the environment while also creating countless jobs. From research and development all the way up to the architects, the possibilities for job-creation and job-innovation is endless.
