Diamond Lake Minerals Inc. (OTC: DLMI), aiming to be the digital version of General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK -B) buying, investing and growing an innovative portfolio of companies and attaching digital securities to those businesses, has entered into a long-term alliance with Boxabl Inc., an innovator in the modular home building market. The collaboration gives Diamond Lake Minerals entrance into the real estate market – which is ripe for change – and gives investors access to digital tokens of a potentially revolutionary real estate start-up.
BOXABL is addressing the U.S.’s lack of affordable housing, which has been a long-standing problem exacerbated by high mortgage rates and a lack of inventory. At last check, there’s a shortage of 7.3 million affordable homes available to low-income renters. That shortage is in every state and major metropolitan area around the country. There is also the need for more space in the existing homes across America driving demand for backyard accessory dwelling units or ADUs. In states like California with new laws on the books that make it easier to get permits, demand may grow even more.
BOXABL’s mission is to mass-produce upscale low-cost housing, similar to how cars are mass-produced on the factory line. Its first product, Casita is a 19′ x 19′ prefab studio apartment that unfolds from a shipping container size. It is fully finished in the factory from the kitchen sink to the HVAC. The modular apartments can be installed in any customer’s backyard in about an hour. BOXABL says Casita is suitable for use in multi-story apartments, workforce housing, affordable housing and military housing. It’s already doing business with the federal government, inking a $9 million deal in 2021 to build and deliver 156 Casitas to a military base. In the same year, it opened its first 170,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Las Vegas. Fast forward to 2024 and BOXABL is in the process of building its factory – the Billion Dollar Boxzilla Factory, which is being partly funded by an investment from home builder and partner DR Horton Inc. (NYSE: DHI). At last check, BOXABL said it had a list of more than 170,000 people interested in buying a Casitas.
Diamond Lake Minerals and BOXABL are collaborating to identify, design and develop communities around BOXABL’s modular homes known as BOXABL Villages. The goal is to provide a more efficient process and shorter timelines from groundbreaking to residents moving into their homes. With Diamond Lake Minerals’ prowess in the future of financing via security tokens combined with traditional financing, both companies are confident they will be able to create unique opportunities for the villages to thrive and scale.
