Written on
Chapter 1: Introduction to Boxabl Homes
Residents of Utah are about to experience a significant advancement in housing as Boxabl Casita rolls out its cutting-edge living solutions. Recently, Boxabl announced that it is now delivering two different models of its homes to the state:
- The Park Model RV ANSI-119.5, which offers a generous 361 sq. ft. and is certified by the RVIA.
- The Factory Built (or modular) Residential Building Code Homes, also measuring an impressive 361 sq. ft.
One of the most remarkable aspects of Boxabl Casita homes is their innovative shipping design. These homes are crafted to fit the dimensions of a standard vehicle, allowing for transportation on highways without the need for over-width and over-height permits. This advancement not only streamlines logistics but also leads to substantial savings.
Upon arrival, the unit, measuring 8.6 ft. by 19 ft., easily "unfolds" into a spacious 19' x 19', 361 sq. ft. studio apartment or Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). Each home is fully equipped with 9.6" high ceilings, 8 ft doors, and essential appliances, embodying modern living within a compact footprint.
Additionally, Boxabl Casita homes are at the forefront of energy efficiency. Exceeding current energy regulations, these homes offer low utility costs and high energy performance, making them a sustainable option for potential homeowners.
With all these exceptional features, it's evident that Boxabl Casita homes are set to revolutionize the housing landscape in Utah. The company enthusiastically expresses its commitment to the state: "Utah, here we come!"

Boxabl's Equity Crowdfunding Success Amid Challenges
Despite facing criticism over delays in obtaining necessary permits across various states, Boxabl continues to excel in the equity crowdfunding arena. A recent article from Business Insider highlighted that Boxabl "has not yet received the state-level certifications necessary to sell its homes anywhere in the country," a claim that seems outdated now.
Nonetheless, the company has achieved remarkable success, maxing out a $3.2 million Reg CF fundraising round through DealMaker in just 9 hours. Currently, Boxabl is also exploring a Reg A round on StartEngine, with over $4 million already secured. Boxabl boasts an overall Hubtas quant score of 2.7, placing it in the top 10% of startups engaged in equity crowdfunding.
