Does anyone have any insight as to how this was created? I've never seen anyone load non-Google data into Street View, that's very impressive.

Google have documentation on creating custom StreetView panoramas: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/...

Very cool. And since it's all a 3D model it's a lot easier for them to generate the panoramic files than taking actual photos.
