Where Is Salcedo Village, Makati?

Salcedo Village is one of the most walkable and liveable neighbourhoods in Makati, sitting between the Ayala Center to the north and the quieter Legazpi Village to the south. Mid-rise condominiums, embassies, tree-lined streets, and a weekend market culture make it unlike anywhere else in the central business district.



The Picasso is at 119 L.P. Leviste Street, within walking distance of Greenbelt Mall, Ayala Triangle Gardens, Jaime Velasquez Park, and both the Salcedo and Legazpi weekend markets.

The Weekend Ritual

Salcedo Saturday Market

Every Saturday, roughly 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM.


Jaime Velasquez Park (locals call it Salcedo Park) becomes one of Metro Manila's best food markets — around 120 stalls selling artisan bread, handmade pasta, kesong puti, heirloom rice, gyoza, banh mi, specialty coffee, and organic produce. About 400 metres from The Picasso.

Legazpi Sunday Market

Next door in Legazpi Village, a similar market runs every Sunday morning at Legazpi Active Park, roughly 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with organic produce, Filipino crafts, and a family crowd. About 1.2 kilometres away.

Greenbelt Mall

The upmarket shopping and lifestyle complex at the heart of the Ayala Center, linking five buildings through covered walkways and gardens. About 700 metres — roughly a 10-minute walk along L.P. Leviste toward Ayala Avenue. Open daily, about 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

Ayala Triangle Gardens

A landscaped green space at the junction of Ayala Avenue, Makati Avenue, and Paseo de Roxas — the symbolic centre of the Makati CBD. It hosts the Lights and Sounds of Christmas show each November through January. About 1 kilometre on foot.

Jaime Velasquez Park

The everyday green space of Salcedo Village, and home to the Saturday market. About 400 metres away.
