BOXABL Inc. (NASDAQ: BXBL) announced that Sage Memorial Hospital in Ganado, Arizona, held a groundbreaking ceremony on Oct. 14, 2026, for a workforce housing project featuring the company's factory-built Studio Casitas. The first phase includes 15 units, which BOXABL expects to deliver over approximately 60 days, with completion anticipated by year-end. The company anticipates additional units as the project progresses.
The housing will support clinical and support staff at Sage Memorial Hospital, a Navajo-managed nonprofit health care system serving the Navajo Nation. The project is intended to address workforce housing shortages and improve recruitment and retention of health care professionals in underserved rural communities. BOXABL's factory-built Casitas are designed to shorten construction timelines and provide rapidly deployable housing alternatives to traditional site-built construction. For full details, see the complete press release.
This project matters because access to affordable housing is a persistent barrier to staffing rural hospitals, particularly on tribal lands. By deploying factory-built units quickly, BOXABL aims to demonstrate that modular construction can meet urgent workforce housing needs. The 361-square-foot Casita includes a full kitchen, bathroom and utilities and unfolds on-site in under an hour, according to the company. Such speed could reduce the lead time typically associated with site-built homes, potentially lowering costs and accelerating occupancy for employers like Sage Memorial Hospital.
For BOXABL, the Sage Memorial project represents a commercial application of its technology beyond single-family use. Since its founding in 2017, BOXABL has raised more than $230 million from more than 50,000 investors. The North Las Vegas-based company is working to transform the housing industry through innovative technology and design, with a mission of making housing affordable at mass-production scale. Its flagship product, the Casita, is a 361-square-foot studio unit, and the company also offers the smaller 120-square-foot Baby Box and is developing stackable and connectable modules designed to form townhomes, multifamily units and larger single-family homes. BOXABL began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol "BXBL" on July 20, 2026, following completion of its business combination with FG Merger II Corp. The latest news and updates relating to BXBL are available in the company's newsroom.

If successful, it could encourage similar deployments in other underserved regions, potentially expanding the market for factory-built housing and influencing how rural employers approach staff accommodation.
