Since their earliest days in Marvel Comics, the Fantastic Four have lived in the Manhattan skyscraper called the Baxter Building. In the MCU, it remains the central HQ and residence for the team in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. But what if they decided to sell it? There’s now a listing for the Baxter Building on Zillow, which is Marvel Studios’ way of showing off the mid-century modern design of the FF’s groovy headquarters. There’s even a video showcasing the Baxter Building’s many rooms, with real estate agent Jack West, who looks like a guy straight out of Mad Men. You can watch it right here:
The Baxter Building has a robotics lab, home to H.E.R.B.I.E., and is appropriately “flying car friendly.” This indicates that the FF are not the only folks with a Fantasticar, or something similar to it. This version of the Baxter Building is also home to the scientific think tank called the Future Foundation. The current asking price, according to the Zillow listing, is $4,444,444. Yes, that’s millions and not billions. Now, that seems pretty dirt cheap for an iconic piece of real estate in the middle of Manhattan. But remember, the Fantastic Four’s universe is in the mid-1960s. That’s why the listing says the building “even has color television!” So we’re working with ’60s-era prices here.
According to the listing, the “remarkable residence blends timeless design with the latest innovations from ReedTech.” Well, now we know what the official name of Reed Richards’ company is in the MCU. We imagine ReedTech is why there is so much advanced technology in this alternate version of the ’60s. But for all its far-out wonders, it’s the fab sixties furniture and home decor that makes us wish we had several million to hand over to the FF. Here’s hoping the Baxter Building (and the Earth) survive Galactus’ impending arrival. The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theaters everywhere on July 25.
