The First Remote Workers in Burlington County
In the 1800s, the Collins family revolutionized Burlington County’s lumber industry by introducing steam-powered sawmills that transformed how work was done. But their real innovation had nothing to do with steam. It was about space.
The Collins family understood that productive work requires a dedicated environment. Their mills featured separate offices where business was conducted away from production noise. Administrative tasks got quiet, focused rooms while industry hummed just beyond the walls. It was, in many ways, the region’s first “remote work” setup: the deliberate separation of thinking work from everything else.
Two centuries later, the challenge has flipped. Instead of needing an office away from the factory, millions of people need an office inside their home. The kitchen table, the bedroom desk, the couch with a laptop balanced on the armrest: these are the improvised workspaces of the remote era, and they are failing the people who use them.
The Collins residence at Pearl Apartments honors the original family’s insight by solving the modern version of their problem. A dedicated den with French doors. A real workspace with a window. A door you can close at 5 PM so your work stays where it belongs and your life unfolds everywhere else.
The French Door Office
The defining feature of The Collins is its dedicated den with French doors. At 80 square feet, the room is larger than a private office at most coworking spaces. It fits a full desk setup with dual monitors, an ergonomic chair, a bookshelf, and a filing cabinet, with room to spare for a daybed when overnight guests visit.
Built for Creative Energy
The Collins den handles everything from video calls to podcast recording to design work. And when you need a change of scenery, Pearl’s clubhouse offers a coworking lounge, private Zoom rooms, and a cyber cafe, all just an elevator ride from your front door.
The French doors are the detail that matters most. They create genuine separation between work and living space. When the doors are closed, you have a polished office with a clean backdrop for video calls. No unmade bed in the background. No kitchen clutter visible over your shoulder. Just a focused workspace that signals competence to clients and colleagues.
When 5 PM arrives, you close those doors and walk into a living space that feels like a living space. Your desk, your monitors, your to-do list: all of it disappears behind the glass. The mental shift is immediate. The Collins does not just give you a place to work. It gives you permission to stop.
Three Rooms, Three Purposes
The Collins packs 796 square feet into three distinct zones, each designed for a specific function. There is no wasted hallway space, no awkward corners, no rooms that try to be everything and succeed at nothing.

Why Collins Residents Stay Longer
Finding another apartment with a real office at this size and quality is nearly impossible. Collins residents do not leave. They grow their careers here, get promotions here, and often only move when they are buying a home. The den is not a luxury. It is the reason people stay.
The Collins family understood something revolutionary 200 years ago: the right workspace enables the right work. They separated their office from the mill floor. They gave important tasks quiet, focused environments. They built prosperity through intelligent design.
Your Collins apartment does the same. French doors separate work from life. Natural light energizes your productive hours. A polished backdrop impresses clients and colleagues. The bedroom stays sacred for rest. This is where remote work finally feels right.
Clock In. Clock Out. Close the Doors.
