Church buys part of former Aberdeen exhibition centre for £1.79m

A section of the former Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC) was sold to a church for almost £1.8m, BBC Scotland has learned.

It emerged at the start of September that King's Community Church had bought the section facing on to Ellon Road but the price was not revealed.

A Freedom of Information (FoI) request has uncovered that the purchase price was £1,799,585.

Following deductions, Aberdeen City Council received £1,221,406.

The remainder of the Bridge of Don site is still up for sale.

The AECC was replaced by The Event Complex Aberdeen (Teca), which opened last year.
