A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokeswoman said the incident occurred about 1pm and four appliances were sent.
It turned out to be a false alarm that was set off by work being undertaken in the building, she said.
About 100 people who had been evacuated from the building complex could be seen gathered in the Octagon and Moray Plc.
