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. Additional units are expected 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 significant because it directly addresses workforce housing shortages that hinder the recruitment and retention of health care professionals in underserved rural communities. By providing rapidly deployable housing, BOXABL aims to alleviate a key barrier to staffing at a facility that serves the Navajo Nation. The company's factory-built Casitas are designed to shorten construction timelines and offer an alternative to traditional site-built construction, which can be slow and costly in remote areas.
For BOXABL, the Sage Memorial project represents a tangible application of its mission to make housing affordable at mass-production scale. Since its founding in 2017, BOXABL has raised more than $230 million from over 50,000 investors. The North Las Vegas-based company's flagship product, the Casita, is a 361-square-foot studio unit with a full kitchen, bathroom, and utilities that unfolds on-site in under an hour. BOXABL also offers the smaller 120-square-foot Baby Box and is developing stackable and connectable modules for townhomes, multifamily units, and larger single-family homes.
The announcement comes as BOXABL begins its life as a public company. BOXABL began trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol "BXBL" on July 20, 2026, following the completion of its business combination with FG Merger II Corp. The Sage Memorial project could serve as a showcase for BOXABL's technology in a real-world setting, potentially attracting attention from other rural health care systems and employers facing similar housing challenges.

The project's success could have implications beyond Sage Memorial. If BOXABL can demonstrate that its factory-built units can be delivered quickly and meet the needs of health care workers in a remote area, it may open doors to similar projects across the Navajo Nation and other underserved regions. The company's ability to scale production and deploy housing rapidly will be closely watched by investors and industry observers as it seeks to transform the housing industry.
