'Psycho' building sold to developer
PHOENIX — A historic Phoenix building known for appearing in the movie “Psycho” will become a cluster of condos.
The city council this week approved the $2.3 million sale of the Barrister Building.
Crescent Bay Development Services plans to convert the six-story tower, which was once a hotel, into a complex of at least 88 condos. The developer also plans to incorporate shops and restaurants.
