About
Open Chord.
A co-living brand built for Nashville, and a partnership between Johnnie Poole and Dan Ventures. An open chord is the first one most people learn: simple, full and better with everyone playing. That's how we think a house should work. A private room in a great, well-run home beats a small apartment you can barely afford.
