==Posao s nekretninama i umirovljenje==
<!--
Astor je godine 1799. počeo kupovati zemljišta po [[New YorkuYork]]u i stekao znatan fundus. Nakon početka 19. stoljeća, u istoj razini s Kinom trgovinskih profita, njegov interes za nekretnine postajao je sve sustavniji, ambiciozniji i proračunatiji. Godine 1803. kupio je 70 hektara farme koja se protezala zapadno od Broadwaya do rijeke Hudson između današnje 42. i 46. ulice. Te ste godine kao i sljedeće, on je kupio znatne udjele od osramoćenog Aarona Burra. [15]<ref>Burrows, Edwin G.; Wallace, Mike (1998). Gotham A History of New York City to 1898.

Astor began buying land in New York in 1799 and acquired sizable holdings along the waterfront. After the start of the 19th century, flush with China trade profits, his interest in real estate become more systematic, more ambitious, and more calculating. In 1803, he bought a 70 acre farm that ran west of Broadway to the Hudson river between 42nd and 46th streets. That same year, and the following year, he bought considerable holdings from the disgraced Aaron Burr.[15]

In the 1830s, John Jacob Astor foresaw that the next big boom would be the build-up of New York, which would soon emerge as one of the world’s greatest cities. Astor withdrew from the American Fur Company, as well as all his other ventures, and used the money to buy and develop large tracts of Manhattan real estate. Astor correctly predicted New York's rapid growth northward on Manhattan Island, purchasing more and more land beyond the then-existing city limits. Astor rarely built on his land, and instead let others pay rent to use it.
