Workers have evacuated a building and diversions are disrupting morning peak hour as 70 firefighters bring a blaze in Sydney's CBD under control.

No injuries have been reported and 20 workers have evacuated the 11 storey building opposite The Mint.

There were 12 fire trucks on the scene and firefighters attacked the fire from the outside and inside of the building.

Norm Buckley from the NSW Fire Service said the building the fire climbed up was undergoing renovation.

"We have the fire under control now, pretty much extinguished," he said.

"We will look for some burning spots there."
