Kissaki was the first retail tenant for the former Amato Opera.
In January 2009, Anthony Amato, the company's 88-year-old founder, announced that he had sold the building that was home to the opera since 1964. Amato Opera staged its last performance in May 2009. (Earlier history: The four-story brick building was a cigar factory from 1899 to 1926.)
Steve Croman bought No. 319 in December 2008 for $3.7 million. The retail space, which initially asked $34,995 a month in rent, had been on and off the market since at least 2012.
No. 319 also features three luxury residences.
Croman, a convicted felon, faces more foreclosures on the properties he owns around the city for reportedly (and allegedly) defaulting on millions in loans, per Crain's. Foreclosure notices have recently arrived on several of his EV buildings.
