The plan calls for the upper level of the shopping center, which faces Route 211, to contain a Wal-Mart super center of approximately 200,000 sf and a Kohl's department store that will be nearly 86,000 sf. The lower level, which faces the Dunning Farms Center, will feature an existing Home Depot; a 30,000 sf Bed Bath & Beyond; a 30,000 sf Marshall's department store; a 25,000 sf The Rag Shop location and a new Circuit City store of approximately 35,000 sf, and some other "mid-sized junior anchor tenants: and a number of specialty stores, according to National Realty and Development Leasing Representative Daniel Dori. Circuit City already operates out of a relatively new store location nearby; however, Dori says that the firm has signed a lease to have the store relocate to the nearby Orange Plaza facility.

In addition to Home Depot on the lower level, other existing tenants at the site, that is located nearby Middletown, include: Big Kmart, the Bank of New York, Middletown Savings Bank, Red Lobster, Taco Bell and KFC, which all have free-standing locations on the top level of the Orange Plaza site.
