A smaller exclusion zone was placed around the building before it was extended to the entire city block, which covered about 20 buildings.
The declaration of the exclusion zone, which stretched from Sturt Street, Stokes Street and Denham Street, was revoked at 5.30pm on Thursday.
Structural engineers organised by the building owner were assessing the building, according to Townsville City Council.
