Sophian Plaza Condominiums
The Sophian Plaza Condominiums, located in Kansas City, MO, underwent a comprehensive restoration project from 2019 to the end of 2023, overseen by Mid-Continental. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the restoration aimed at preserving its historical integrity.
The project included the removal and replacement of cast stone elements in the entryway colonnade and entablature, replicated with precision through 3D scanning. A total of 174 pieces, weighing 51,077 lbs, were involved in the entryway restoration. Additionally, all exterior brick masonry was restored and deteriorated wood window frames, colonnettes, sills, and downspouts were replaced. Decorative cast stone elements underwent repair and replacement.
The entire restoration was successfully completed by the end of 2023, just in time for the centennial celebration of this century-old building. The Sophian Home Owners Association played a crucial role in preserving the beauty and historical significance of the Sophian Plaza Condominiums.
