Housing tech startup Boxabl has received official approval for its Casita product to be sold in the State of California.
California, known for its challenging housing market, has increasingly turned to accessory dwelling units (ADUs) as a solution to its housing crisis. According to 2023 statistics from the state’s Department of Finance, “ADUs are included in the single-family category of housing and comprised 19.7% of the state’s new housing, adding 22,802 units.”
Boxabl’s entry into this market presents an opportunity to substantially increase the supply of innovative and cost-effective homes.
The Casita, a fully equipped home, ships folded and is designed to unfold into a fully functional dwelling in just a few hours. The design not only reduces construction time and costs but also minimizes environmental impact.
“Getting approval to offer our Boxabl Casita in California is a pivotal step forward in our commitment to tackling the affordable housing crisis,” said Galiano Tiramani, co-founder of Boxabl. Each Casita is manufactured in Boxabl’s facility in Las Vegas, Nevada using durable, high-quality materials.
The Boxabl Casita offers 361 square foot living space that includes a full kitchen, bathroom, living area and sleeping area. Units can be combined and even stacked to create larger homes.
