This approximately $50,000 “Ranchbox” will be coming to the market via SG Residential, a premier provider of container based home solutions and a licensee of SG Blocks. The Ranchbox offers homebuyers and outdoor enthusiasts turn-key solutions for temporary and long term living that are durable, affordable and easily deployed in remote locations. The Ranchbox can function as a permanent home using city services or operate remotely “off the grid” with optional generators and portable water and waste systems for extended periods. In addition, their unparalleled strength and use of steel provides the most secure and weather resistant structures available today.

The home will be constructed out of SG Blocks’ signature GreenSteel™, utilizing Cortense steel, the structural core and shell of an SG Blocks building. Cortense steel provides the structures hurricane and earthquake resistance. With the increased intensity of extreme weather events, this resilient foundation for live-work environments has become more critical than ever. SG Blocks utilizes code-engineered cargo shipping containers to construct and provide safe, durable and environmentally-friendly structures. It has an exclusive ESR number, which was granted by the International Code Council, ensuring its ability to meet and exceed all international building codes.

Paul Galvin, CEO of SG Blocks, commented, “This is another great example of SG Blocks, this time through our licensee SG Residential, using innovation to provide rapidly deployable solutions to address not only the affordable housing crisis but also a growing need for diverse types of homes. These structures are efficient and resilient, utilizing recycled components. They are intermodal, and can be installed in a single day with add-on capacity for future expansion. The well-documented housing crisis is out of control and, absent new solutions, will only worsen, creating public health issues and driving economic challenges for municipalities around the country. Our container-based offerings quickly and affordably address this situation, providing ideal solutions for millennials, seniors, ADU and rental markets. SG Residential provides a gentle and cost-effective new way for cities to address the housing crisis, changing the paradigm and avoiding the lengthy, politically-charged and inadequate solutions of the past.”
