The shopping portion in its current incarnation is a U-shaped strip mall featuring high-end boutique style stores. Unlike most strip malls, there is no major anchor. As of 1987, the plaza consisted of 240,000 square feet (22,000 m2). The office complex includes high rises and a number of low rise buildings near the shopping center.

Facelift
By 1981, Stuyvesant Plaza as a shopping center was performing poorly. It was an average strip mall with no serious distinction. Consultants suggested the complex focus on discount retailers. However, the complex ended up focusing on small, high-end, non-chain retailers. It was predicted that this would lead to ruin for the plaza. The gamble paid off and a facelift was completed by the mid 1980s. The facelift caused the strip mall to be one of the top performers along the East Coast. By early 1987, there were 62 specialty retail stores at the plaza.
