Buildings in Sims FreePlay are split into three groups: Community, Workplace, and Houses. Building another community building will increase the price for the next community building but won't change the price for your next workplace or house. Building a house will increase the price for your next house but won't change the price for your next community building or workplace.
Recently FM has changed it so that the length of time for community buildings that are required for quests remain the same for those locations no matter how many community buildings you have already while the price and sim requirement increases.
As of the 2017 Holidays Update the Health Hub will always cost less than other buildings.

*Nightclub - 1 day 12 hours; 15SPs
*While the Nightclub is technically a Community Building it does not follow the rules for building community buildings. It's price and build time remain the same no matter how many community buildings you have built and building it does not increase the build time for other community buildings.
**Once you finish the Love & Treasure quest which unlocks the Private Island the Private Island acts like a house lot with the prices for building a house on it depending on how many houses you currently have built. However, it still is considered a Community Building in that once you build it the price for other Community Buildings is increased.
