Officers were called to the unit on Forbes Street just after 6am after the trio allegedly broke into the unit and threatened the owner.
Two of the men were arrested at the scene by police, while the third managed to escape into another unit nearby.
Witnesses told police the third man was armed with a weapon at the time.
Following the escape, police negotiators as well as members of the Specialist Response Group surrounded the unit, and blocked off surrounding streets.
After a four-hour stand-off with police, the man came out of the unit and was arrested just before 10am.
No one was injured during the robbery or during the stand-off.
An investigation into the incident is continuing and members of Taskforce Nemesis have also been brought in due to potential links to Canberra outlaw motorcycle gangs.
A 37-year-old man from Page, a 26-year-old man from Queanbeyan and a 27-year-old man from Higgins are expected to appear in court on Monday.
Investigations are continuing, and anyone with further information is being urged to call CrimeStoppers on 1800 333 000.
