It seems the Traveling Circus is the most profitable building in the game.

I calculate, at lvl5, the Traveling Circus has a Profit/hr(including repairs) = $4560 or $182.41 per tile. The Bowling Club is $3236.59 or $129.46 per tile. The Obstacle Course is $5261.54 or $107.38 per tile (since it is a 7x7 structure).

As CMONYALL pointed out, you'd have to collect income every 90 minutes. However, to be equal to the profit per tile of the Bowling Club ($129.46), you could collect from the Traveling Circus about every 128 minutes (just over 2 hours). To be equal to the profit per tile of the Obstacle Course ($107.38), you could collect from the Traveling Circus about every 155 minutes (about 2 1/2 hours).

I always calculate in terms of profit(including repairs) per hour per tile, since I think this is the most representative of the value of the building--if you were to fill up your island with the highest profit/hr/tile building you would get the most total profit possible (theoretically).
