BOXABL Inc., a technology construction company focused on addressing the global affordable housing crisis, is scaling its factory-built housing operations as its proposed merger with FG Merger II Corp. moves forward. The combined company is expected to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker BXBL. The company has appointed technology executive Shan Palaniappan as chief technology officer to oversee the expansion of automation, software, and artificial intelligence capabilities across its operations.
BOXABL is applying manufacturing principles more commonly associated with the automotive and consumer electronics industries to residential construction, one of the least standardized sectors of the U.S. economy. The company has already produced more than 800 housing units from its Las Vegas manufacturing facility and is targeting multiple residential and commercial market segments, including single-family homes, multifamily housing, workforce accommodations, and hospitality projects.
The modular system designed by BOXABL supports scalable deployment. The company’s factory-based housing platform centers on modular, foldable residential units that can be transported on standard trailers and quickly assembled on-site. Management sees long-term opportunity in combining home production with recurring service revenues tied to financing, insurance, and maintenance.
This move comes as the U.S. faces a persistent shortage of affordable housing. By industrializing homebuilding, BOXABL aims to reduce construction time and costs, potentially making homeownership more accessible. The company’s focus on automation and AI could also address labor shortages that have long plagued the construction industry. If successful, BOXABL’s model could reshape how homes are built and delivered, impacting developers, homebuyers, and investors.
Investors should note the forward-looking statements in the company’s announcements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Details are available in BOXABL’s filings with the SEC, including risk factors discussed in its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports.

The SPAC merger and new CTO appointment signal BOXABL’s intent to scale rapidly and bring factory-built housing into the mainstream, potentially offering a solution to the affordable housing crisis while creating new market dynamics in residential construction.
