There are 15 different types of buildings in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. Two of them are related to Mii housing, so really, think of it as 13 unique buildings that you can place anywhere you want.

How many buildings can you have on your island at once?

Is the Concert Hall in Living the Dream?

Unfortunately, the Concert Hall is not in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. This was a fan-favourite building in the 3DS game, and it hasn't made a return here.

Instead, Miis will sometimes put a musical performance on for you when they're celebrating one of your achievements. So that's nice!
