The UNTV Broadcast Center is a mixed-use skyscraper under construction located along 43 East Lawin Street corner Epifanio delos Santos Avenue, Philam Homes in Quezon City. The building will be the new headquarters of UNTV 37, a public service UHF TV channel.[1]
It will be located in a lot where the Kamanggagawa Foundation's Transient Home was build.

Groundbreaking of the building took place in June 26, 2014 which was covered by UNTV morning shows Good Morning Kuya! and Get It Straight. The groundbreaking ceremony is part of UNTV's 10th anniversary celebrations and was headed by UNTV-Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International, Inc. Chairman and CEO Daniel Razon and Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista.[1][3][4]

The building will host a 400 sqm broadcast studio (for the news and entertainment programs), a 300 seating capacity auditorium (to be used for ASOP Music Festival), and a full-sized basketball court (to be used for UNTV Cup).
The rooftop of the building is designated for a jogging and bike lane which is planned to be fenced with glass panels. The three disks structures will also be constructed on top of the building.
