Amura to open in sushi restaurant’s place at Terminus.

An Orlando-based Japanese steakhouse is taking advantage of space originally occupied by a similar concept to open its first Atlanta restaurant.

Amura Japanese Steakhouse will replace the now-shuttered MF Buckhead, at 3280 Peachtree Road. MF closed in February after filing bankruptcy.

Amura submitted a building permit application with City of Atlanta at the end of August for commercial alterations at the Buckhead space totaling $5,000.

The Japanese steakhouse will open at the Terminus building in the “first quarter of 2013,” Thad Ellis, leasing manager at the Buckhead development, told What Now Atlanta in a telephone interview Wednesday.

Amura was not immediately available for comment.
