Nowadays, many growing cities around the world face very intensive construction in the housing sector. The pressure of the construction sector is reflected in the insistence on increasing the number of floors of residential buildings due to economic profitability, while the principles of spatial balance and sustainability are questionable. Therefore, this research seeks to discover which minimum number of floors of residential buildings ensures the economic profitability of the investment in housing construction. The methodological approach, based on the relevant principles of urban economy, ensures the development of a model for empirical testing of spatial and economic relations. The research polygon is the residential module from the regulatory plan of the residential settlement located in the area of a fairground in Banja Luka - Bosnia and Herzegovina.
