Aircon Storage Common in High Rise?

[SwissMissMama]

Is it common when you live in a high rise apartment to have a storage unit outside of your apartment but still within the building? If so, is that storage unit air conditioned? Coming from Switzerland, almost every apartment has a storage unit in the basement of the building --- mold is not a problem here. However what to take in an upcoming move would depend on ability to store stuff (Christmas decorations, additional dishes, etc) in an air conditioned unit.

Advice is appreciated!

Don't think you find that in any condo/apt/hdb but for nominal sums you can rent "lock & store" units in various locations throughout Singapore from about 1.5 to 2 cu/m to garage sized units. Most of the storage facilities has either climate controlled or natural units.

Leave that stuff in Switzerland!
Singapore suffers a general lack of space, appartments are small and if there is a store room, you'll need it for more everyday stuff. Even in AC environment (which is costly), things age MUCH faster than in temperate climate and after a few years you'll have to scrap them anyway.

While searching for an apartment in Singapore I haven't seen a single condo with basement storage. Most of the storage rooms are inside the condo (eg. bombshelter) but usually not airconditioned. If you need an airconditioned storage room choose a condo with 1 more bedroom and use it as storage room. However, 24/7 aircon in this room will cost you about 80-100 SGD more per month.

I'm wondering where Singaporeans store their bikes? Mine goes on the balkony as the storage room is too small.

Most condos have underground parking lots and will have bike racks where you can leave your bike. Unless you use it often though, it might be stripped after a period of time. Otherwise, an noted, keep it in your house or on your balcony.
