The developer raised the alarm after one of the builders identified an issue with the concrete slab which was used for the apartment.
'As a precaution, temporary props were installed and engineers employed to confirm the property is safe,' the developer said.
Entrances and exits to the building have all been blocked with danger signs.

Following the 'deterioration' in the Mascot Towers building, and the 'cracking noises' in the Opal Tower building, residents can expect to see people held accountable for these types of issues.
The NSW Government is implementing four key reforms to deliver a more robust regulatory framework for the construction of buildings.
'The legislation will implement many of the recommendations from the Lambert and Shergold-Weir reports into the building industry, and now we want to hear from industry and the wider community to help finalise the legislation,' Mr Anderson said.
'We are committed to getting these important reforms right and ensuring they are developed in close consultation with the industry and community.'
