The high-rise building on Novy Arbat, a six-lane avenue running through downtown Moscow, is under renovation.
Moscow’s branch of the Emergencies Ministry reported there has been no information on any injured.
The fire engulfed some 200 square meters, Moscow’s Emergencies Services told TASS. “There are no people inside,” it added.
The seventh floor where the fire started was used as a storage space for construction materials, TASS reported.
Photos and videos of the fire show plumes of black smoke coming from inside.

The blaze has been successfully extinguished by fire brigades, the Emergencies Ministry said later in the day, adding that crews were looking for remaining flames.
The 26-story building was built on Novy Arbat in 1968, its floor area being 29,000 square meters. Known for its “open book” design, it is commonly referred to as the ‘Book Building’.
