If we are using block then A should be used otherwise it will be blocks because apartments has number of blocks or flats so blocks should be used.

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 should be the correct one according to subject verb agreement.

I think instead of are we have to use is because block is singular and with singular we use singular form of verb.

'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.
