'Are' is used for plural words. As it is mentioned that there are so many flats.
So 'Are' is the correct answer.
So 'Are' is the correct answer.

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.
