Summary, model-written

Broadway Centrum opened in 1977 as a shopping center with two movie theaters and later housed television studios for programs such as Eat Bulaga!. In 2012 it was sold to Empire East Land Holdings for a planned residential condominium and lifestyle mall redevelopment. The center closed in 2018 after the final Eat Bulaga! broadcast and has remained unused since.

Why. The record shows the loss of television studio tenants (TV5 ended its lease in 2014 and Eat Bulaga! concluded in 2018) and notes that the redevelopment plans have not been executed, indicating anchor tenant loss and unimplemented development as causes.

Where it stands. The property is currently closed and owned by Empire East Land Holdings (a subsidiary of Megaworld Corporation), with no development yet undertaken.
