This is the last thing any retailer would want mid-way through a refurbishment.

Fire crews were called to Broadway on the Mall in Brisbane's city centre yesterday afternoon.

The site had been closed off for redevelopment since August last year.

Half a dozen crews were on hand to extinguish the blaze, after smoke and flame were spotted on the roof.

A part of Adelaide Street remained closed on Wednesday afternoon.

A spokesman for the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service said the fire was in the air conditioning and cooler unit on the building.

Broadway on the Mall closed in 2014 for redevelopment and will reopen labelled as 170 Queen Street.

Broadway is owned by Melbourne-based super fund manager ISPT.

ISPT bought the 11,500sqm retail complex in 2011 for $62.5 million.
