BOXABL, a developer of factory-built modular housing solutions, has received regulatory approval to sell and deploy its Casita Studio across Texas, marking a significant expansion into one of the fastest-growing residential housing markets in North America. The approval comes as Texas enacts legislation aimed at reducing local restrictions on accessory dwelling units (ADUs), creating a more favorable environment for housing expansion.
According to the company, this milestone strengthens its growth strategy as it prepares for its anticipated merger with FG Merger II Corp. (NASDAQ: FGMC) and planned public listing, while opening access to a state that has emerged as a major market for ADU development. The Casita Studio is a 361-square-foot studio unit with a full kitchen, bathroom, and utilities. It unfolds on-site in less than an hour and is manufactured inside BOXABL’s facilities.
Texas has become a focal point for housing innovation due to its rapid population growth and increasing demand for affordable housing. The new state legislation is expected to reduce bureaucratic hurdles for ADUs, allowing companies like BOXABL to deploy units more quickly. This could help alleviate housing shortages in urban areas such as Austin, Dallas, and Houston, where rising home prices have outpaced income growth.
For BOXABL, the Texas approval represents a key step in its commercial rollout. The company, founded in 2017, has attracted worldwide attention with its modular building systems designed to deliver affordable, high-quality homes at unprecedented speed. In addition to the Casita, BOXABL has announced the Baby Box, a smaller 120-square-foot unit built to RV code, intended for simpler, no-foundation setups. The company is also developing stackable and connectable box models that can be combined to form townhomes, multifamily units, or larger single-family homes.
The merger with FG Merger II Corp., a special purpose acquisition company, is expected to provide BOXABL with the capital needed to scale production and expand its market presence. The transaction is anticipated to close in the coming months, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals.
