The building was cordoned off just after 9.50am today after a person nearby reported hearing a loud bang at the building on Millhouse Dr in Botany.
Pharmacist at nearby Millhouse Pharmacy Phillip Kang said he heard the noise, which he initially thought may have been a car crash, and then emergency services arrived at the scene shortly after.
Police were guarding the scene, Kang said.
In a statement, police confirmed they were treating the fire as suspicious and investigations were ongoing.
A cordon was established and a scene examination was due to take place.
A spokesperson for Luxon said "There was a fire at the office. Our staff are safe and were not harmed.
"It is now a police matter so we do not have further comment at this stage."
