building height and density
I recommend using the shorter form (modifier + noun) for this combination of two terms, not the longer one (noun + "of" + modifier).
The reason is that "building height" and "building density" are very often needed in the urban planning discourse; they also are used in derived terms, e.g., "building height restrictions" (compare: "restrictions of the height of buildings" - possible but not very convenient).
An often-used definition is this:
"Building Density: The floor area of the building divided by the total area of the site (square feet per acre)."

"The term city centre/center is similar to CBD in that both serve the same purpose for the city, and both are seen by a higher-than-usual urban density as well as the often having the tallest buildings in a city. [...] Cities with maximum building height restrictions often have a separate historic section quite apart from the financial and administrative district. "

(In a wider context, "urban density" tends to be used. Another variation is "site density", possibly in a narrower contexts.)
