Univision NewsPort

With a total project budget exceeding $110 million, this project involved the reconversion of a 160,000 SF facility into Univision NewsPort, a large, state-of-the-art television production and operations center. The facility serves as the primary base for Noticias Univision and functions as a central hub for multiple Univision operations. The program includes multiple broadcast studios, control rooms, a 280-station newsroom, and extensive office and creative collaboration spaces supporting 24/7 news operations. Due to its location within the flight path of Miami International Airport, the building incorporates specialized sound-rated construction and advanced acoustical treatments. Mission-critical infrastructure includes a fully redundant mechanical plant, N+1 emergency power systems, two large generators, and substantial online storage capacity—ensuring uninterrupted operations and the ability to withstand a direct hit from a Category 5 hurricane.

“Overlapping with my time leading Univision and NBCUniversal Telemundo, during a continuous seven year period Michael directly led the successful design, construction, and timely occupancy of multiple new major broadcast facilities, which combined total over one million square feet and over $500 million. Michael repeatedly led major complex projects successfully from start to finish, and now brings those same standards of excellence with him to MKSA. I highly recommend Michael Kirschner and his team at MKSA for Owner Representative needs, for his expertise in the broadcast, production, and entertainment sector.”
