BNP Paribas SA is overhauling its New York City regional headquarters to appeal to workers in a post-pandemic era.

The bank’s name has been unveiled on the tower at 787 Seventh Ave., previously known as the Axa Equitable Center, according to a statement Wednesday. Paris-based BNP’s redesigned offices include new trading floors with curved monitors, sit-and-stand desks, more lighting and higher ceilings.
