BOXABL Inc., a technology construction company focused on factory-built housing, has appointed technology executive Shan Palaniappan as chief technology officer as it expands automation, software and artificial intelligence capabilities across operations. The company is pursuing a proposed merger with FG Merger II Corp. (NASDAQ: FGMC), with the combined company expected to trade under the ticker Nasdaq: BXBL.
BOXABL has already produced more than 800 housing units from its Las Vegas manufacturing facility and is targeting multiple residential and commercial market segments. The company’s modular system is designed to support scalable deployment for single-family homes, multifamily housing, workforce accommodations, and hospitality projects. Management sees long-term opportunity in combining home production with recurring service revenues tied to financing, insurance, and maintenance.
BOXABL, an innovative technology construction company on a mission to solve the global affordable housing crisis, is attempting to apply manufacturing principles more commonly associated with the automotive and consumer electronics industries to one of the least standardized sectors of the American economy: residential construction. Headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, the company is building a factory-based housing platform centered on modular, foldable residential units that can be transported on standard trailers and quickly assembled on-site.
The appointment of Palaniappan signals BOXABL’s commitment to scaling its operations through technology. As CTO, he will oversee the integration of automation and AI across the company’s manufacturing processes, which could help reduce costs and increase production efficiency. This move comes as the housing industry faces a persistent shortage of affordable homes, and factory-built solutions are gaining attention as a way to accelerate delivery.
The proposed merger with FG Merger II Corp., a special purpose acquisition company, would provide BOXABL with access to public capital markets to fund its growth plans. If completed, the transaction would list the combined entity on Nasdaq, giving investors exposure to the factory-built housing sector. The company’s broader objective is to shift homebuilding away from fragmented, on-site construction toward a more streamlined, industrialized model.

The implications of BOXABL’s progress extend beyond the company itself. If successful, its factory-built approach could help address the U.S. housing shortage by delivering homes faster and more affordably than traditional construction. The integration of AI and automation may also set a precedent for how technology can transform the construction industry. However, the company must navigate regulatory hurdles, supply chain challenges, and market acceptance as it scales. As the SPAC merger advances, BOXABL’s ability to execute on its vision will be closely watched by investors and industry observers alike.
