2023 Ones to Watch Rising Stars: Yuliya Viola, Certilman Balin Adler & Hyman, LLP
Land Use and Zoning Attorney
Certilman Balin Adler & Hyman, LLP
Number of years at firm: 5.5
One thing on my bucket list: Visit France, Italy, and Dubai.
When I am not working, I am: enjoying spending time with my family and my kids and playing tennis. I also love playing piano.
What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? The most recent project I am most proud of is the development of three industrial warehouses of a total of 549,942 s/f of space on a 71.45-acre parcel on the north side of Long Island Expressway Dr. North in Yaphank. Navigating a zoning and land use approval process to completion certainly has its own rewards, but seeing a project being constructed provides a tangible proof of its success and my role in it. It was a pleasure working with such an amazing and talented team of this developer, Wildflower Ltd.
