The Legend Saladaeng is one of the few luxury residential projects built in the 2000s in the Sathorn/Silom area. The units at The Legend Saladaeng were built with quality in mind and while not overly spacious, the 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units offer up optimal living space for expats to feel comfortable. The building’s biggest highlight has got to be the location. Sala Daeng Road is a leafy soi lined with trees and there is a sidewalk which leads to Silom Road where there are countless shopping and dining locations as well as both subway and Skytrain (Silom MRT and Sala Daeng BTS) stations within about 7-8 minute- walk from the condo.

Units on the west side of the Legend Saladaeng have to deal with noise generated by the traffic of Sala Daeng Road. The low floor units are only for those who don’t mind the constant traffic noise, so if you work from home and are considering The Legend Saladaeng, make sure you either find a unit on the other side of the building or have the unit completely soundproofed.

Trying to find an available condo for rent can be an ‘ugly’ experience as it seems the building is always full. Trying to find a unit for sale at The Legend Saladaeng is virtually impossible as the current co-owners have a reputation for quickly snatching up anything that comes on the market before anyone else gets a chance. Not to mention during peak rush hours (6-8pm), the traffic on Sathorn and Silom Roads is at an absolute standstill and should be avoided at all costs.
