MESA, ARIZ. (September 3, 2024) – On Point Architecture and general contractor DC NuMed Construction are establishing themselves as a formidable team for design-build (DB) and tenant improvement medical office projects in the Valley.
On Point Architecture President Nicole Posten-Thompson and Dan Norftill have worked together on floor plan design and construction permitting for several medical projects across the Valley. Norftill was previously a project manager with Masks LLC, dba Southwest Design Build and became President of DC NuMed in 2024.
Nicole Posten-Thompson
“We’re both strong personalities and know what needs to be done to deliver successful projects,” says Posten-Thompson. “Together, we’re like bulldogs and focus on finding the best solutions for our medical clients. Then we deliver. Our clients love design-build because they have one contract and get both of us.”
“Nicole is one of the best DB architects with whom I’ve worked,” says Norftill. “She is a no-nonsense designer. She values efficiency and puts clients’ needs before her own. We deliver efficient solutions for our medical clients. I’m all about building excellent facilities.”
Together in 2023, Posten-Thompson and Norftill have delivered several medical projects, including two state-of-the-art infusion clinics and a medical office building in the bustling cities of Gilbert and Surprise. They are currently working together on medical office projects in Yuma and Gilbert. Most of their work together involves office expansions, infusion clinics, and renovating existing spaces to improve the patient and staff experience.
“For one project, our task was to combine two previously occupied office facilities on the ground floor of a two-story building. The biggest challenge was that a shared interior hallway separated the suites. On Point provided a preliminary code study to show that the shared hallway was unnecessary for the safe exiting of the two other suites with access to it,” says Posten-Thompson.
After obtaining clearance to remove the shared hallway, On Point designed the 6,067 SF clinic to provide nine exam rooms, a large procedure room, an infusion room for up to 20 chemotherapy patients, a full pharmacy with an ante and compounding room, administration offices, and five doctors’ offices.
“The client was so pleased with the Surprise clinic results that they hired our team again to deliver their newest infusion clinic in the East Valley,” Posten-Thompson adds.
The 3,047 SF Mesa clinic is on the ground floor of an existing medical facility. The suite had never been developed, so it was a blank slate for the team.
Dan Norftill
The floor plan required five exam rooms, an infusion clinic for a minimum of 10 chemotherapy patients, and a small pharmacy. The space had to meet both owner and the building management requirements since they paid for the interior tenant improvements, Posten-Thompson says.
Another project the team completed was a 3,524 SF tenant improvement for a new medical office at the Southwest Kidney Institute Medical Office in Gilbert. The team worked with an empty shell space within a window of just seven months.
The facility has nine exam rooms, a large centralized medical assistant station, four private doctors’ offices, and a large, shared conference room. The in-house lab/phlebotomy and medical procedure room allows the doctors to provide in-house testing and results.
“An empty shell space is full of possibilities, even when time is of the essence,” Posten-Thompson says. “It takes design prowess and extensive knowledge of medical facility construction to deliver a top-notch facility for discriminating doctors who want their facility now. Dan and I make an efficient team that provides excellent design, proven space efficiencies, and quick turnaround.”
On Point Architecture services include Planning (zoning, site plan design and review, 3D renderings); Design (programming, project management, and permitting); and Construction Observation, for a myriad of general commercial construction specialties, including medical, self-storage, and office warehousing.

DC NuMed services include design-build services for medical tenant improvements, which includes buildouts and medical equipment installation. For more information about DC NuMed, visit www.dcnumed.com.

With unprecedented growth in the West Valley, FirstStreet Ballpark Village is already filling the need for a luxury, single-family rental community in Goodyear. Situated off of I-10 on Estrella Parkway in the shadow of Goodyear Ballpark, this 25-acre community features 251 single-level homes, with five floor plans showcasing one, two and three-bedroom homes.
FirstStreet Ballpark Village has leased 135 of its 251 homes as of August 1 and plans to complete full construction build-out in October. Full lease-up of the community is expected by early spring of next year, Harvard Investments officials said.
Amenities at FirstStreet Ballpark Village include a 4,000 SF clubhouse featuring a large fitness center.
“It’s very rewarding to see the development of FirstStreet Ballpark Village come together,” said Robert Trujillo, Vice President, Harvard FirstStreet. “We began leasing early this year, and activity has exceeded our expectations with leasing velocity leading the market in July. We’re offering our residents a great living experience with community amenities and home interior features that have been extremely well received by the individuals and families who have chosen to make our community their home.”
The community is within walking distance of Goodyear Ballpark, the spring training home of the Cincinnati Reds and the Cleveland Guardians.

Amenities include a 4,000 SF clubhouse featuring a large fitness center with a yoga area, a community kitchen with adjacent BBQ grills, meeting areas, a breezeway lounge that opens to the pool, and modern, upscale finishes. The resort-style pool provides three lap lanes, a water feature, and an additional spa pool.

Homes are modern and open in feel, with 10-foot ceilings, kitchen islands, high-quality appliances, covered porches, doggie doors, and private fenced backyards. With ample room for a work-from-home lifestyle, these luxury residences employ smart technology throughout, including alarm and keyless entry, video doorbells, and more.
FirstStreet Skyline, located at the SWC of Sienna Hills Parkway and McDowell Road in Buckeye, broke ground in July. Harvard Investments selected BB Living (Higley Homes) as the general contractor to construct the community. FirstStreet Skyline will comprise 222 units on 23 acres at full build-out.
“FirstStreet Skyline will include a 4,000 SF clubhouse with a focus on a healthy lifestyle with a strong wellness theme,” Trujillo said. Amenities will include a gym with indoor and outdoor exercising, a cold plunge, sauna, hot tub, ramadas, fire pits, outdoor games, and abundant seating around the resort-style pool. FirstStreet Skyline plans pre-leasing by the end of 2025.
“FirstStreet Skyline will feature stand-alone detached homes, even the one-bedroom residences,” Trujillo said. “All single-level homes will have no common walls, and one-bedroom carriage units will have an attached garage below the residence.”
Buckeye is one of the fastest-growing cities in Metro Phoenix. It boasts a thriving economy, excellent job growth, quality education and healthcare, abundant golf and entertainment, easy transportation access, and spectacular views of the White Tank mountains.
