It can have two correct solution.

One is "Block of residential flats is coming up near our house".

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."

Rahul said:   1 decade ago
"A block of Residential flats" is also correct as there can be many flats in a block.

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.

Anu said:   1 decade ago
Here block is singular i.e., subject so that should be 'is coming up' is correct.

Shanu said:   1 decade ago
Why don't near our house is wrong? it should "houses". !

A "block of residential flats is coming up near our house" may be correct.
