Here block is singular i.e., subject so that should be 'is coming up' is correct.

In the first sentence we used block of residential flats. So subject is singular (block) because of that verb in the second sentence should be singular.
Block of the residential flats is.
Block of the residential flats is.

"A block of Residential flats" is also correct as there can be many flats in a block.

I don't think it can be "Block of residential flats is coming up near our house".
It should be "'A' block of residential flats 'are' coming up near our house."
It should be "'A' block of residential flats 'are' coming up near our house."

Other one "Blocks of residential flats are coming up near our house".
One is "Block of residential flats is coming up near our house".
Other one "Blocks of residential flats are coming up near our house".

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'.
