This is the building, located at 5491 Penn Avenue:

I haven't moved in yet so I'm not really sure about neighbor noise, but street noise was minimal. Those glass garage doors are pretty solid. I could hear noise outside in the hall from my unit though...I have worried about that aspect. We'll see.

When do you move in?

Hopefully in about two weeks. Still working out closing stuff.

I saw the rear of the building once, and noticed that the bathroom walls were entirely glass, floor to ceiling with no fogging. Was that a temporary thing, and there is fogging now...or is it trying to appeal to more avant garde buyers?

I have no ****ing clue what the architect was smoking when he designed that unit. I know exactly what you're talking about...ridiculous.

Haha - I actually really liked those small 2 story units in the back. The only things that bugged me were the price and voyeur bathroom.
