Priyanka we should say "A block of residential flats is coming up" not block of residential flats is coming up.

Rather than near our house we must use near our houses!

See its not about plural. 'Block' is a collection of flats, i.e, a block of flats (similar to flock in case of sheep) , Hence
Block of residential flats, is coming up near our house is correct. Though we can buy Vertika's take, but that depends on which noun she emphasizes - generally collective noun plays a bigger part in selecting the helping verb.

Vertika is rite: if we are to use singular verb 'is', 'A block' is rite. But the plural 'are' is used in the sentence so it should be 'Blocks'.

Block of residential flats is coming up near our house is also correct.
