MESA, ARIZONA (Sept. 5, 2024) – Upfront Planning & Entitlements is a land planning consulting firm that serves public and private sector clients throughout Arizona. However, company owner Jessica Sarkissian has found a niche serving the needs of small and rural communities across the state.
“I love the positive impact and real appreciation these communities have after working with them and helping them to have General Plans and Codes that are in line with what the big cities have,” Sarkissian said. “It enables them to be more competitive to help them grow and find solutions to their small community struggles.”
Sarkissian has led her firm to help complete projects all over the state while being able to meet their tight timelines and budgets. Most recently she worked with Yavapai County conducting public outreach meetings and getting them to the finish line on their recent Comprehensive Plan Update and then quickly began work for the Cities of Douglas and Kingman to meet their tight deadlines to make the ballot for the 2024 Primary Election requirement.
Working within those communities and being on the ground taking photos, meeting with residents is really educational to the project to make sure the Plans are tailored to that communities needs and future vision.
For instance, in Douglas, the growth of the new port of entry will have major impacts on how the city grows and the Upfront Planning team took that into account with the General Plan Advisory Committee to propose what could be given all the opportunities ensuring that the plan enabled the opportunities to encourage industries that may not yet be known.
The Upfront Team encouraged the expansion of the General Plan study area to encompass new opportunities to ensure the City Kingman had a stake in areas of future growth.
The City of Kingman was another rewarding experience seeing how it is not just Route 66, but a booming market with ample possibilities with the growth of the industrial area, the airport, and a new proposed interchanges along Interstate 40. Its citizens and a City Council are eager to provide more opportunities in housing and employment for the residents.
The Upfront Team encouraged the expansion of the General Plan study area to encompass all these new opportunities to ensure Kingman had a stake in those areas of future growth and to ensure it would be planned with purpose.
Upfront Planning also excels at writing and updating code. Not all firms write the same, but Sarkissian possesses a wide background in working as a public sector planner, as an applicant for private projects, as well as the one who hears the presentations as a Planning Board member. Her insight provides a valuable took when writing code and knowing what has and has not worked over the various projects and municipalities.
Currently the Upfront Planning Team is doing a massive overhaul of the City of Nogales and Greenlee County Zoning and Development Codes. Nogales has not been updated entirely since 1999 and Greenlee not since 2012.
These updates are providing much needed reorganization. They are adding new uses, standards, and enabling the opportunities to increase housing stock, housing types, and enabling higher densities. This allows for creative development styles while keeping the character of rural and small towns in place.
“Development can provide more intensity and density without compromising community character; it just depends on how you provide those allowances,” Sarkissian said. “What do they have to do for the design and community to get there. Just because it’s a rural or small-town community, residents shouldn’t allow anything to be built because they are eager for new development.”
Sarkissian and the Upfront Planning Team enjoys meeting with and being a partner with rural and small communities to help provide a service they need to grow and provide them insight on the best ways to get there.
“Becoming part of the community if only for a short time is very exciting and rewarding to know that you left them with something that will only make their community that much better in the future. I can’t wait to visit these communities again and see how they have grown and expanded on what we helped them start,” Sarkissian said.
About Upfront Planning & Entitlements
Based in Mesa, Arizona, and founded in 2019 by Jessica Sarkissian, AICP, LEED AP, Upfront Planning & Entitlements is a woman-owned firm that provides consulting services to both public and private sector clients. Its diverse project background includes expertise in commercial, residential, and industrial sectors. It boasts a wide municipal understanding within the state, buoyed by its technical design knowledge. Sarkissian possesses more than 20 years of experience in Arizona as a land-planning specialist.

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.
